Polish president enters hospital Polish president enters hospital
(about 4 hours later)
Polish President Lech Kaczynski has been admitted to hospital after a "deterioration in his health", his office says. Polish President Lech Kaczynski has been admitted to hospital suffering from a stomach infection and fever but he is due to leave later on Monday.
According to a spokesman at the military hospital in Warsaw, President Kaczynski, 58, is weak and has a fever but his life is not in danger. A doctor at the Warsaw military hospital said Mr Kaczynski's condition was already improving.
The official statement did not specify the nature of the president's illness. The 58-year-old president fell ill during the night and became "very weak", the doctor said.
Details will be released after medical checks are carried out on him, the statement from his office said. Poland is facing an election later this year, after Mr Kaczynski's twin brother Jaroslaw ended a turbulent coalition.
The announcement comes amid speculation that Poland will hold a general election soon. The Polish parliament is scheduled to vote later this week on the plan to hold an early election. Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski has named 21 October as the likely date.
President Kaczynski had to cancel his visit to a school outside Warsaw on Monday to mark the beginning of the new academic year.
