Clinton, a Democrat who served as president from January 1993 to January 2001, recently addressed the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and supported Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in her unsuccessful presidential campaign earlier this year.
Over the years, Clinton has faced several health challenges. He underwent quadruple bypass surgery in 2004 after experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath. The following year, he required surgery for a partially collapsed lung, and in 2010, he had two stents implanted in a coronary artery.
To improve his health, Clinton adopted a primarily vegan diet, which helped him lose weight and boost his overall well-being.

In 2021, he was hospitalized in California for six days due to a urological infection that had spread to his bloodstream. Though serious, he avoided septic shock and was placed in a hospital section with intensive care capabilities, but did not require ICU treatment.
Clinton's spokesperson has assured the public that he is recovering well and remains in positive spirits.
