The ex-president “has decided to stay in his home surrounded by his family for the remaining time”
Former US President Jimmy Carter has begun receiving palliative care after a series of brief hospitalizations, his foundation, the Carter Center, announced in a statement on his Twitter account this Saturday.
The ex-president has thus “decided to spend the time he has left at home surrounded by his family, where he will receive palliative care instead of undergoing a medical procedure.” The decision, the center emphasizes, was made “with the full support of his family and his medical team”.
Carter, at 98, is the longest-lived former president after leaving the White House, which he held from 1977 to 1981 until his defeat by Republican Ronald Reagan.
His tenure was marked by major foreign policy achievements such as the Panama Canal Treaties, the Camp David Peace Accords (peace treaty between Egypt and Israel), the SALT II treaty with the Soviet Union, and the establishment of diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic . The Republic of China.
On domestic policy, his government established the ministries of energy and education and tightened environmental protection legislation. In 2002, Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian work.
In their statement, the former president’s family asks for privacy and appreciates the expressions of affection received.
