FORMER PRESIDENT QUINN WERNER HOSPITALIZED FOLLOWING BRAIN PROCEDURE
The 77-year old is recovering in an Emerald hospital following a procedure to relieve brain pressure.

Former Zamastanian President Quinn Werner, 77, is recovering in an Emerald hospital following a procedure to relieve brain pressure.

The pressure comes from bleeding caused by recent falls, the Werner Foundation said in a statement.

The procedure was completed without complications at the Pillio University Hospital on Tuesday morning local time.

Mr Werner "will remain in the hospital as long as advisable for further observation," the statement said.

An earlier statement by the Werner Foundation said the former president was "resting comfortably" and his wife, Hera, was with him.

Mr Werner is the country's oldest living leader.

The Green Liberal was the 8th President of Zamastan, taking office in the 1976 election after Elene Abotsford. Before the presidency, he was a professional hockey player and later became a congressman and the head of the Committee on National Youth Development. Werner’s first act as President was to revamp the education system of Zamastan, allowing for public school programs that were more inclusive to originally less opportunistic families. He also created a national food service program that distributed government mandated foods to poorer income families that proved incapable to sustain for themselves. These public service projects shaped the inclusive and modern day civil prosperity ratings of Zamastan, which measure the livability factors of each aspect of the nation. Experts widely agree that these programs greatly improved life for Zamastan citizens as a whole. Due to the increase of food distribution and education reforms, the generations of Zamastanians became more healthy and intelligent as a whole.

Werner advocated immensely against illegal substance usage and smoking. He and his wife, Hera Maria Werner, broadcast weekly television prompts from the Presidential Mansion to encourage young people and older generations alike to drop bad and unhealthy habits and adopt a healthier lifestyle. Werner was originally a proponent of legalized marijuana usage, but amongst his promotion to the Committee on National Youth Development, he understood the possibilities of weed being used as a gateway drug and famously advised kids to “Stay away from bad stuff”. Hera Werner took a platform against bullying in schools, and often visited the nation’s institutions and met one-on-one with teachers and students. She is to this day one of the most renowned First Ladies of Zamastan.

President Werner was elected to two terms but lost in the closest ever election in Zamastanian history in 1980 to Aiden Avery. President Avery passed away in January.
