Haiti's Interim Prime Minister (PM) Garry Conille has been discharged after being hospitalized for an unspecified illness on Sunday after spending the night being treated.
According to a video published on YouTube on Sunday, Conille said he felt well and was “ready” to continue to help steer the country out of its current security crisis by forming a government that will also prioritize issues like health care.
Hati’s local media reported that Conille, 58, was hospitalized on Saturday afternoon after suffering breathing problems.
However, his office did not provide details on the cause of his hospitalization.
"Following a week of intense activities, the Prime Minister ... had a slight illness on the afternoon of Saturday June 8, 2024 and went to the hospital for treatment," his office said in a statement.

This comes as President William Ruto has affirmed that the Haiti mission will go as planned and that soldiers will be deployed in three weeks despite the judiciary's terming it unconstitutional.
Kenya will lead a UN-backed operation to protect the Caribbean nation plagued by violence, poverty, and political instability.
Kenya plans to send 1,000 officers and soldiers from six other nations to the operation are expected to join the mission.
"The people of Haiti are maybe waiting, by the grace of God, that probably by next week or the other week, we shall send our police officers to restore peace," Ruto said in an address during a visit to central Kenya on Sunday.
It stated that the government did not have the right to send police officers abroad without prior approval.
The administration reached an agreement on March 1, and Ruto told the BBC last month that he anticipated a Kenyan army to travel to Haiti within weeks.
