Pedro Uczai discharged from hospital after ischemic stroke

Pedro Uczai, the Workers' Party (PT) leader in the Chamber of Deputies, has been discharged from Hospital DF Star in Brasília following a significant improvement in his health. Uczai was hospitalized last week after suffering an ischemic stroke during a meeting of the Chamber's College of Leaders.

Medical reports indicate that the stroke affected the left cerebellum, an area responsible for balance and coordination. However, the deputy has shown satisfactory evolution with no signs of neurological, cognitive, or motor deficits. After being moved from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) last Saturday, he is now expected to continue his treatment and routine examinations at home.

The medical emergency occurred during a legislative meeting, where immediate assistance was provided by fellow lawmakers Hugo Motta and Jandira Feghali, both of whom are physicians.
