Pope Francis, 86, was admitted to the Gemelli hospital in Rome this Wednesday to undergo a “scheduled medical check-up”, in which it was discovered that he was suffering from a “respiratory infection”, for which he will remain in the hospital for several days. .
The press director of the Holy See, Matthaeus Bruni, affirmed that “the Holy Father was in the Twins (hospital) since this afternoon the per-ups arrived earlier than scheduled”.
However, in an interview with Nelson Castro, the speaker indicated that Francis had “respiratory illnesses”, which decided to carry out some studies this afternoon, which concluded that he was suffering from a “respiratory infection”.
For this reason, he will remain in the hospital for several days as “the center of hospital therapy” indicated on the radio station of Rivadavia after maintaining direct communication with Bruni.
Earlier, Italian media such as Corriere reported that the Pope was hospitalized because of “respiratory difficulties and heart problems”.
Always next to the gates of the place, the pope was admitted by ambulance to the hospital after he entered Santa Marta with respiratory distress after the General Audience, in which he was seen well.
Official information indicates that the Argentine Pope has suspended some activities of his program “to open up” to possible new studies.
The suspended operations conclude an interview with an Italian television program on the Queen of Heaven in Rome.
In 2021, Jorge Bergoglio underwent surgery in Gemini due to “symptomatic diverticular stenosis” of the colon. This incident earned the Blessed Father 10 days outside the Vatican until he was released. During the operation, the Supreme Pontiff removed 33 centimeters of intestine.
At that moment he recognized a full recovery, but it was Francis in an interview at the end of last January who indicated that the condition had “returned”.
In June 2022, the Supreme Pontiff had to postpone his trip to Africa due to a knee problem that made it difficult for him to get around, for which he began using a wheelchair.
Currently, he is still recovering from the injury and uses a cane to get around. The Pope has revealed that he does not consider the possibility of operating on his knee to avoid the long consequences that the anesthesia 2021 intervention left him.
