Vatican Shares Latest Health Update on Pope Francis
Pope Francis’ health has been closely monitored since his hospitalization earlier this month. The Vatican has provided several updates, shedding light on his diagnosis and ongoing medical care. Now, a new statement offers further insight into his current state. On February 14, Vatican News reported that Pope Francis would be admitted to the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic hospital after his morning audiences.
The Holy See Press Office later confirmed that he had been suffering from bronchitis for several days, leading to difficulties in delivering his public addresses.
The Pope had already delegated his prepared remarks to be read by others during multiple events, including his Wednesday General Audiences. Earlier, on February 6, Vatican News had stated that he would hold his audiences from his residence at Casa Santa Marta due to his ongoing illness.
