Presidential healthcare: Seychelles president treated at home after falling ill

Seychelles President Patrick Herminie, 63, was hospitalized in Victoria from October 19 to 24 for observation after falling ill. State House said his condition was stable but did not disclose the nature of his health problem; he left hospital recovered on October 25 and was due to resume his duties on October 28. By receiving treatment in Seychelles rather than abroad, Herminie diverged from a common practice among African heads of state.
