Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is "cognitively healthy" after surgery to relieve bleeding pressure on his brain and should be leaving intensive care on Friday, his medical team said.
A follow-up operation on Thursday to block blood flow to the affected area was a "success", Lula's doctor, Roberto Kalil, told a news conference at the Hospital Sirio-Libanes treating the 79-year-old president.
