Former US President Jimmy Carter, aged 98, has made the decision to forgo further medical treatment and instead spend his remaining time at home with his family while receiving hospice care.
This decision follows a series of brief hospital admissions. The Carter Center released a statement expressing their support for his choice and asking for privacy during this time.
Jimmy Carter served as the 39th President of the United States, from 1977 to 1981, and is known for his extensive post-presidential work in humanitarian endeavors. He became the longest-serving US President in October, surpassing the record set by President George H.W. Bush.
