KINGSTON, Jamaica: Former Jamaican prime minister, Edward Seaga, has been admitted to a Florida hospital.
The Jamaica Gleaner reported that his former special assistant Prudence Kidd-Deans made the disclosure, but she did not give details as to in which institution he was hospitalised.
She said, however, that he is suffering from uncontrollable coughing and that he took ill in Florida while visiting his daughter and her family.
The 78-year-old Seaga has a history of sinusitis. He suffered from pneumonia in 1997 while he was opposition leader of Jamaica.
He served two terms as prime minister between 1980 and 1989, and was opposition leader of the Jamaica Labour Party between 1974-1979 and then from 1989 to January 2005 when he resigned from active politics.
He was the fifth prime minister of Jamaica.
