Pope Francis, currently receiving treatment for double pneumonia at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, had a stable night, the Vatican confirmed on Monday. While his condition remains critical, he has not experienced respiratory crises.
Doctors reported early signs of kidney failure on Sunday but assured that it is under control. The 88-year-old Pontiff, receiving high-flow oxygen support, remains alert and attended Mass. Medical experts have cautioned that sepsis remains a significant risk due to his pre-existing lung condition.
Expressing gratitude for the well-wishes received, Pope Francis thanked healthcare workers and supporters worldwide. Admitted on February 14, he has faced multiple hospitalizations during his tenure, including treatment for bronchitis in 2023. Global prayers for his recovery continue.
