Pope Francis, 88, has been admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital due to worsening bronchitis and a complex polymicrobial respiratory infection. Following recent tests, the Vatican confirmed he would require an extended hospital stay. Despite his health struggles, including acute bronchitis and prior hospitalizations, the pope has maintained communication, calling a church in Gaza while remaining mentally alert. However, his speaking ability is impacted by breathing difficulties. An update on his condition is anticipated soon as his general audience is canceled for Wednesday.
Pope Francis will remain in the hospital for as long as required due to a complex clinical picture, following a diagnosis of a polymicrobial infection.
The Vatican stated the pontiff is undergoing treatment for a respiratory tract infection and will continue to receive care as necessary.
