Earlier this year, Carter was admitted to a hospital twice after falling at his home in Georgia. Local medics reportedly had to relieve his brain pressure from bleeding after the falling incidents. Carter was suffering from a subdural hematoma, caused by a series of falls, according to reports.
Over the past year, Carter also underwent surgery to mend a broken hip and pelvis.
Carter, who was born in Georgia in 1924, served as governor of the state from 1971-1975 and won the 1976 presidential election, becoming the 39th president of the United States.
After losing to Republican candidate Ronald Reagan in 1980, Carter left the political stage and established the Carter Center - a humanitarian organization promoting human rights across the world, which found him nominated for and subsequently winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
