Greek Orthodox Patriarch Ignatius IV Hazim suffers brain stroke

St. George Hospital in Achrafieh announced on Tuesday that Greek Orthodox Patriarch Ignatius IV Hazim was admitted into the intensive care unit after suffering a brain stroke, stressing that he's in stable condition.

Hazim was initially hospitalized on November 5 for what the hospital's administration had said were routine medical checks.

“He is in good health,” it said in a statement last month after media reports emerged that he was transferred from Damascus to Beirut for health reasons.

Causes leading to the deterioration in his health remain to be seen.
