As a Brazilian newspaper reported that Pelé was entering palliative care, and a hotel in Qatar sent him a public get well message, the soccer legend posted a message on social media to share updates on his health.
“Friends, I am at the hospital making my monthly visit. It's always nice to receive positive messages like this,” he wrote. “Thanks to Qatar for this tribute, and to everyone who sends me good vibes!”
Folha de São Paulo reported on Saturday that Pelé was “no longer responding to treatment” and was beginning to enter palliative care.
