Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been discharged from hospital two days after being admitted with an intestinal obstruction, his latest health complication from a 2018 stabbing on the campaign trial.

“Being discharged now. Thank you all,” the Brazilian leader posted on Twitter on Wednesday alongside a religious message and a photo of himself and his doctors giving a thumbs-up gesture.

His doctor, Antonio Macedo, told reporters the president has recovered and is ready for work and will be on a special diet on weekends and will not be able to perform intense exercise.

Macedo added; “We instruct patients to chew well, avoid some foods, and we hope to keep the president like that for the next 20, 30 years,”
