Former US President Jimmy Carter, 98, is receiving “palliative care” at his home, his foundation announced in a statement on Saturday.
“After a series of short hospital stays, the former US president decided today to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive palliative care, rather than additional medical intervention,” the foundation said.
Jimmy Carter is the oldest living former US president.
After leaving the White House, he founded the Carter Center in 1982 to promote development, health, and conflict resolution around the world.
In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his “decades of tireless efforts to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts.”
Jimmy Carter suffered a series of health problems that required him to be hospitalized several times in 2019.
