Pope Francis, at 88 years old, is in critical condition due to a complex lung infection and currently receiving supplemental oxygen and blood transfusions at the Vatican. The pontiff, who has historical respiratory issues, faced a serious asthmatic crisis that has led to increased concern over his health. As he continues to receive medical attention, details about his condition remain closely monitored, with prayers being offered for him. Speculations about his future, including possible resignation, have been raised given his fragile health status.
The Vatican later said Francis was conscious, continuing to receive supplemental oxygen and that further clinical tests were being conducted.
Doctors have said Francis' condition is touch-and-go, given his age, fragility and pre-existing lung disease.
