Pope Francis continues to show improvements in his clinical condition after spending 25 days hospitalized at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome due to respiratory issues. The Holy See reported that doctors believe the Argentine pontiff is not in "imminent" danger and have decided to lift the reserved prognosis. Although the situation remains complex, there has been a consolidation in improvements, according to blood tests and response to therapy.
The 88-year-old supreme pontiff is recovering from bilateral pneumonia, which has shown a "gradual and slight improvement." He is resting in his private apartment on the tenth floor of the Gemelli Hospital, where he undergoes motor and respiratory physiotherapy. During the day, he receives oxygen through nasal cannulas, and at night, he uses mechanical ventilation. Despite being hospitalized, he continues to participate in spiritual activities and dedicates time to prayer and rest.
Pope Francis has maintained contact with his collaborators and has expressed his solidarity with those affected by floods in his home country, Argentina. Although he has not appeared publicly, he has been heard expressing gratitude for the shows of support and prayers. His Secretary of State and the substitute for General Affairs have visited him in the hospital to convey messages of encouragement.
Pope Francis's health remains a matter of attention, and doctors continue with pharmacological therapy in a hospital environment as a precaution. Despite the circumstances, a gradual improvement in his health status is observed, and it is hoped that he will continue to recover with the necessary medical care.
