Pope Francis’ health condition is improving, Vatican says
Pope Francis’ health continues to improve after his hospitalization for bronchitis, the Vatican confirmed on Thursday. The 86-year-old pontiff is responding well to treatment and has been able to resume some work activities from his hospital room.
According to the latest medical bulletin, the pope no longer has a fever and his respiratory function has stabilized. Doctors have described his clinical condition as “gradually improving” and have adjusted his therapy accordingly.
Francis was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital on Wednesday after experiencing breathing difficulties. He had been suffering from bronchitis for several days, which led to his hospitalization for tests and treatment.
The Vatican emphasized that the pope remains in good spirits and is grateful for the prayers and messages of support he has received from around the world.
The 86-year-old pope has faced various health challenges in recent years, including knee problems that have required him to use a wheelchair. However, his medical team is optimistic about his recovery from this current episode.
No date has been announced for his discharge, but Vatican officials say he will remain under medical observation until doctors are confident he has fully recovered.
