Ronaldo Caiado discharged from hospital after pneumonia diagnosis

Presidential candidate Ronaldo Caiado (PSD) was discharged from Hospital Vila Nova Star in São Paulo on Sunday, September 13, following a four-day hospitalization. Initially treated for acute pharyngitis, his condition progressed to pneumonia.

Caiado stated he is not yet at 100% recovery and has been medically advised to reduce his campaign pace, specifically avoiding intense travel and large crowds. Despite this, he intends to resume activities gradually, starting with a presidential debate scheduled for Monday, September 14.

During his discharge, Caiado addressed several political issues. He criticized the current state of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) and democratic institutions, calling for a leader who can reorder Brazilian democracy. He also proposed appointing four women to the STF if elected, expressing support for former Prosecutor General Raquel Dodge. Regarding healthcare, he advocated for modernizing the Unified Health System (SUS) through telemedicine and priority-based queue regulation.
