<Pope hospitalized with pneumonia for a month... condition gradually improving</Pope> View original image

The Vatican announced that Pope Francis, who has been hospitalized for a long time due to pneumonia, spent a peaceful night.


On the morning of the 14th (local time), the Vatican Press Office conveyed this through a media release.


The Pope has been hospitalized at Rome's Gemelli Hospital since the 14th of last month, receiving treatment for pneumonia affecting both lungs for a month. This is the longest hospitalization since his enthronement. Although the Pope faced critical moments, including four episodes of respiratory distress, his condition has recently shown noticeable improvement. The day before, he recovered enough to hold a modest celebration with medical staff marking the 12th anniversary of his enthronement.



The discharge date has not yet been decided. A Vatican official said, "At the age of 88, it takes time for his body to recover from pneumonia. The same applies to regaining strength and stamina."
