Pope Francis, 88 years old, has been hospitalized at the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome since February 14 due to bronchitis and bilateral pneumonia. Despite this situation, he has shown a slight gradual improvement according to the latest medical report.
It is noted that the pontiff has been fever-free at all times and has experienced an improvement in gas exchange. Blood tests and blood counts have shown stability, indicating a positive progression in his health condition.
Doctors have maintained a reserved prognosis given these initial improvements and will continue to evaluate his evolution in the coming days. This Saturday, after receiving the Eucharist, the Pope dedicated himself to prayer in the chapel of his residence and alternated between resting and work activities in the afternoon.
Since he was admitted to the hospital, the Supreme Pontiff has suspended all his official activities in the Vatican. Despite this, thousands of faithful continue to gather daily to pray for his swift recovery.
