Pope Francis is continuing his therapy for bronchitis and pneumonia at Gemelli Hospital in Rome. His condition remains stable, with no respiratory crises like the one he experienced on Saturday. He is receiving oxygen therapy, although with reduced levels. Doctors maintain a cautious prognosis due to the complexity of his clinical picture.
The pope, who has been hospitalized since February 14, has shown slight improvement. He is working remotely from the hospital and recently called a parish in Gaza to express his solidarity. Thousands gathered in Buenos Aires to pray for his health. President Trump also expressed support for the pope’s recovery.
Francis’ mild renal insufficiency and polymicrobial infection are under control and being monitored by physicians. Renal function is measured with a creatinine test, and stability in creatinine levels and urine output is crucial for recovery. Polymicrobial infections are caused by multiple pathogens, which can lead to chronic or short-term diseases.
The pope’s condition is being closely monitored, and he is receiving continued medical care at the hospital. Despite his health challenges, he remains active in his duties, reaching out to communities and signing causes for sainthood decrees. Supporters around the world are sending prayers and good wishes for his recovery.
