Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been hospitalized for eight days due to leukemia, and although he remains in the intensive care unit, doctors said that his health condition is steadily improving. The statement issued by the San Raffaele hospital in Milan, where Berlusconi is being treated, reports that there has been a steady improvement in his respiratory and renal functions over the past 72 hours. However, his overall clinical picture indicates the need for continued treatment in intensive care.
Berlusconi, 86, has been suffering from a lung infection related to the chronic myelomonocytic leukemia that he has been suffering from for some time, according to his doctors. Despite his age and health problems, Berlusconi has been nicknamed “the immortal” because of his longevity in Italian politics. He was re-elected to the Senate in 2022, and his five children and 53-year-old fiancée take turns at his side.
Berlusconi’s state of health has been a cause for concern for many Italians because of his influential role in the country’s politics for decades. Berlusconi, who has been Italy’s prime minister four times, was hospitalized on April 3 after his leukemia symptoms worsened. Since then, he has been receiving treatment at the San Raffaele hospital in Milan, one of Italy’s leading hospitals.
Meanwhile, his supporters and opponents have expressed their wishes for a speedy recovery for the controversial politician. Berlusconi has been criticized for his behavior and policies during his time in power, but he remains an influential figure in Italian and European politics.
