A week after he reportedly underwent a successful surgery, 84-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner and former Anglican archbishop of Cape Town, Archbishop Desmond Tutu was readmitted to hospital on Saturday to treat an infection.
According to a statement by the family of the Archbishop Emeritus, he was readmitted as a precaution after his surgical wound had shown signs of infection.
“The archbishop underwent the surgical procedure 10 days ago to address the cause of recurring infections resulting from past treatment received for prostate cancer,” the family said in a brief statement.
“The archbishop was readmitted on Saturday as a precaution after his surgical wound had shown signs of infection.”
Recall that the anti-apartheid hero was also hospitalised last year for treatment of an “inflammation”.
