Pope Francis Shows Slight Improvement Amid Ongoing Health Concerns

Pope Francis Shows Slight Improvement Amid Ongoing Health Concerns

Vatican reports on the Pope's health indicate no respiratory crisis, but prognosis remains cautious.
In the latest medical bulletin from the Vatican Press Office, the health condition of Pope Francis has shown a slight improvement.

Today, there have been no incidents of asthmatic respiratory crises, and some laboratory tests have yielded positive results.

The monitoring of mild renal insufficiency has not raised concerns among his medical team.

While the Pope continues to receive oxygen therapy, the flow and percentage of oxygen have been slightly reduced.

The medical staff has, however, opted for caution due to the overall complexity of the clinical picture and have not yet amended the prognosis.

This morning, Pope Francis received the Eucharist, and in the afternoon, he resumed his work activities.

Later in the evening, he called the parish priest of Gaza to express his paternal support during these challenging times.

The Pope has extended gratitude to the global community of believers who have gathered to pray for his health.

Simultaneously, Vatican sources have denied rumors regarding a potential transfer of the Pope from the Gemelli Hospital, stating that the apartment on Tiber Island is not intended for him, and there are no plans for a transfer from Gemelli.

In a related statement, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, President of the Italian Bishops' Conference, emphasized the importance of prayer during this period.

In an interview with Tg2000, the Cardinal noted that many, including non-believers, have expressed their solidarity and have stated, "I do not believe, but I pray for him." The Cardinal reinforced the Pope's request for prayers, highlighting a unifying call within the community.
