President Fernández Diagnosed With Laryngitis

President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has suspended her agenda for the next 48 hours after being diagnosed with acute laryngitis.

The illness was diagnosed by the presidential medical team, which released a press release confirming that: “The President of the Nation, Dr. Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, has an acute laryngitis, and is receiving the appropriate treatment with the suspension of activities for 48 hours.” The diagnosis was signed by doctors Marcelo Ballesteros and Daniel Fernández.

President Fernández had planned to lead a ceremony today in Puerto Madryn, Chubut in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the first Welsh migrants to Patagonia.

This isn’t the first time the head of state has suffered medical issues. In November last year, she missed 26 days of activities with sigmoiditis, and in October 2013 had a lengthy absence after surgery for a subdural hematoma.
