Chiche Gelblung Released From Hospital and Set to Return to Air

The discharge follows treatment for a thrombosis and a hospital-acquired viral infection that kept the 82-year-old in intensive care for weeks.

Overview

  • Gelblung was given medical discharge and returned home to continue recovery after nearly a month in the Sanatorio Mater Dei, sources confirmed Friday, June 12.
  • His extended stay included urgent ICU admission on May 18 after a home descompensation, surgery for an ankle thrombosis, and prior placement of two stents.
  • Doctors delayed the thrombosis operation when Gelblung developed a hospital-acquired viral infection that caused fever and high white blood cell counts before he stabilized.
  • Gelblung has publicly said he feels well and has scheduled concrete returns to work, with outlets reporting a TV appearance on June 14 and a radio comeback around June 15.
  • Colleagues and reports note his long history of resuming duties quickly after health scares, so his discharge matters both for his personal recovery and for the programs he anchors.
