Former Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi hospitalized in Milan: sources

Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is admitted to the San Raffaele hospital in Milan, according to four sources interviewed by the Reuters news agency on Friday (9).

This is a new hospitalization, for medical examinations, less than a month after his last discharge.

Last month, Berlusconi, 86, was discharged from hospital after six weeks of treatment for a lung infection linked to chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia.

The former Italian prime minister’s health has deteriorated sharply in recent years, with open-heart surgery in 2016 and numerous hospital stays since contracting Covid-19 three years ago.

Berlusconi was Prime Minister of Italy three times – between 1994 and 1995, 2001 and 2006 and 2008 and 2011. Although he does not have a direct role in the current government, his Forza Italia party is a member of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing coalition .
