Pope Francis has been hospitalized in Rome due to bilateral pneumonia linked to a recent bronchitis episode. The Vatican reports a complex clinical picture requiring further drug therapy. Despite his age and health complications, including a past lung surgery, the Pope is in fair condition, eating breakfast, reading, and working while hospitalized. Some Vatican events, including the weekly general audience and potentially the Sunday blessing, have been canceled due to his condition. The Pope continues to receive the Eucharist and engages in rest and prayer.
The Vatican stated that Pope Francis has "bilateral pneumonia" and continues to receive medical care, alongside an announcement of a "complex" clinical condition requiring further therapy.
Amidst treatment for polymicrobial infections and pneumonia, the 88-year-old Pope remains in "fair" condition, engaging in breakfast and work from his hospital room.
