NNA - Lebanese President Joseph Aoun visited Maronite Patriarch Cardinal Bechara Boutros al-Rahi on Monday morning at Hôtel-Dieu Hospital in Beirut, where he checked on his health following a successful hip surgery.

The Patriarch underwent the operation after suffering a fall during Easter Mass on Sunday at the patriarchal seat in Bkerki, which resulted in a hip fracture.

President Aoun was briefed on the medical team's positive assessment of al-Rahi's recovery and wished him a speedy return to full health.
