Israel’s Peres feeling ‘well’ after being rushed to hospital | |
(about 4 hours later) | |
JERUSALEM — Israel’s former President Shimon Peres was feeling well after being rushed to hospital the night before but is to remain under doctors’ supervision and care throughout Monday, his office said. | |
The 92-year-old Peres was rushed to hospital on Sunday night with chest pains, days after he suffered a mild heart attack. After doctors detected an irregular heart rate, Peres was monitored in hospital overnight as a precaution. | |
Peres’ personal physician Raphi Walden told Israeli Army Radio on Monday that Peres’ heart rate had returned to normal. A statement later from Peres’ office said he would remain in hospital “to allow him to continue to be monitored.” | |
“President Peres now feels well and the tests conducted have not revealed any irregularities,” the statement said. | |
Peres, a Noble Peace Prize laureate, completed his seven-year term as president in 2014. He remains active through his non-governmental Peres Center for Peace, which promotes coexistence between Arabs and Jews. | Peres, a Noble Peace Prize laureate, completed his seven-year term as president in 2014.
