Update on Pope Francis’ Health: A Restful Night Amid Clinical Improvements
The Holy See Press Office announced on Friday morning that Pope Francis had a restful fifteenth night at Rome’s Gemelli hospital, where he is undergoing treatment for bilateral pneumonia.
The statement from the Press Office mentioned that the Pope had a calm night and is now resting as his clinical condition continues to improve. However, the situation remains complex, and his prognosis is still guarded.
On Thursday night, the Press Office provided an update on the Pope’s health:
“The Holy Father’s clinical condition is confirmed to be improving again today. He alternated high-flow oxygen therapy with a Ventimask. Due to the complexity of the clinical picture, further days of clinical stability are needed to clarify the prognosis. In the morning, the Holy Father underwent respiratory physiotherapy, alternating it with rest. In the afternoon, after an additional physiotherapy session, he spent time in prayer in the chapel of his private apartment on the 10th floor, where he received the Eucharist. He then engaged in work activities. According to reports, the Pope has passed the most critical phase, but his condition remains complex. For this reason, the prognosis remains guarded.”
