Pele receives care at the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Edson Arantes do Nascimento (Pele) was hospitalized at the Hospital Israelite Albert Einstein this past Tuesday (29th) for a review of his chemotherapy for his colon tumor, which was discovered in September 2021, according to a statement the hospital issued on December 4.
He continues to get treatment, and his health is steady. His status has not changed in the past 24 hours, and he responds well to a cure for a respiratory infection.
After Pele was taken to the hospital, Kely Nascimento tried to diffuse the situation.
“Hello, Friends. The media is freaking out again, and I want to calm down the rumors here,” His Daughter posted on Instagram.
“My dad is hospitalized; he’s receiving treatment. I’m not rushing to a flight to get there.
“My siblings are in Brazil, and I’m going there for New Year’s. This is not a surprise or an emergency. We thank all the kindness and love you all send to us!”
