Tanzania's President Jakaya Kikwete underwent successful prostate surgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States over the weekend, the president's office said.
The operation was performed on Saturday, his office said on Sunday, without giving details on the nature of the surgery.
"The surgery... which lasted for one and a half hours, was highly successful. The president's condition is improving, but he is still in a hospital ward under medical supervision and receiving treatment," the presidency said in a statement.
The president's office said in a previous statement on Nov. 6 Kikwete would spend 10 days in the U.S. for a medical check up.
