Pope Francis, 88, is battling a serious health crisis and remains hospitalized at Rome’s Gemelli University Hospital. He is suffering from bilateral pneumonia and early-stage kidney failure, making his condition complex and critical.
The Pope’s respiratory health has been a concern for years, especially after part of his lung was removed in his youth. Recently, he faced an asthmatic crisis but has since stabilized. Doctors are monitoring his low platelet count and mild kidney issues, while he receives oxygen support and blood transfusions.
Despite his struggles, Pope Francis continues fulfilling his religious duties, attending Mass in his hospital apartment. He expressed gratitude on social media for the prayers and support from around the world.
Pope Francis, born in Argentina, has been leading the Catholic Church since 2013. Known for his humility and commitment to social justice, his resilience continues to inspire millions worldwide. The Vatican remains hopeful for his recovery.
