Former US President Jimmy
Carter has been admitted into hospital in South Georgia, just weeks after he
had an operation on the brain at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
His new ailment was
identified as urinary tract infection.
“He is feeling better and
looks forward to returning home soon,” the Carter Center said in a statement.
Carter, 95, was hurt in
November during “recent falls.” The surgery was said to have gone well and
there were no reported complications.
In September, Carter was
also admitted to hospital to monitor a minor pelvic fracture after he fell in
his home in Plains, 215 kilometres south of Atlanta.
It was the second fall that
month for Carter, who required stitches above his eyebrow after the first
incident.
In an earlier fall in May,
Carter broke his other hip, resulting in hip replacement surgery.
