Outgoing Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited a Tokyo hospital on Saturday, his first visit since announcing his decision to resign due to poor health, local media reported.

A member of the Prime Minister’s Office press team said the team was not aware of Abe’s hospital visit.
Abe, who has battled ulcerative colitis for years, announced his decision to resign in late August.
