WHO Chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Hospitalized

World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has been hospitalized at Hospital Samaritano Barra da Tijuca in Rio de Janeiro after presenting symptoms of labyrinthitis and a hypertensive crisis. His health issues arose earlier during the G20 summit, where he initially received treatment for high blood pressure. After being examined by on-site health professionals, he was stabilized and released, but later required further observation in the hospital. The summit concluded with discussions on climate change, poverty reduction, and tax policy, highlighting the demanding environment for global health leaders. His hospitalization raises concerns about the pressures faced by officials during international engagements.
