TOKYO - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is planning to visit a Tokyo hospital on Monday , Yomiuri daily said, amid mounting concerns about his ability to continue as premier due to health issues and fatigue from handling the coronavirus crisis.
"This time it's to hear the results of the medical check-up," an anonymous government official told the paper. Mr Abe, in office since 2012 in his second stint as prime minister, resigned from his first term in 2007 because of struggles with ulcerative colitis, which he now keeps under control with medication that was not previously available.
Weekly magazine Flash said Mr Abe had vomited blood at his office on July 6. Reuters was unable to verify the report, which was refuted by government officials.
