VIDEO: Roseana Sarney returns to Maranhão after surgery to remove tumor in São Paulo

Federal deputy Roseana Sarney returned to Maranhão after a successful surgery to remove a tumor in São Paulo, receiving a warm welcome from family and friends.

Federal Deputy Roseana Sarney, a member of the MDB party, arrived in Maranhão on the morning of October 24, 14 days post-surgery for tumor removal at the Sírio-Libanês Hospital in São Paulo. Upon her return, she was greeted by emotional family and friends, celebrating her positive recovery after the medical procedure. She is expected to stay in Maranhão for about 15 days before returning to São Paulo for follow-up medical care.

In a statement made last week via social media, Sarney expressed gratitude for the successful surgery and shared her longing for Maranhão, initially planning to return between March and April. However, she decided to cut her recovery time short to reunite with her loved ones sooner than anticipated. This reflects her strong connections to her home state and the support she receives from her community during personal health challenges.

Additionally, Sarney took the opportunity to thank her medical team at the Sírio-Libanês Hospital for their care and professionalism. This situation highlights not only her individual health journey but also the importance of healthcare systems in providing support to public figures in Brazil, reinforcing their responsibilities and connections to the public during personal and significant health issues.
