Pope Francis Continues Hospital Treatment Amidst Improving Health Condition
The Vatican reports progress in the Pope's health, necessitating extended hospital care for further evaluation.
Pope Francis's clinical condition showed improvements, as reported by the Vatican's press office on Thursday evening.
The Pope is receiving oxygen therapy augmented by a ventilation mask.
Medical professionals have indicated that, due to the complexity of his clinical picture, additional days of hospitalization are required before a prognosis regarding his health can be established.
According to a statement from the Vatican, the medical team at the Gemelli hospital has advised that while there is progress in the Pope's health condition, predictions about his recovery remain uncertain.
On Thursday, the Pope engaged in respiratory physiotherapy in the morning and later prayed in the chapel of his papal room at the Gemelli clinic.
He also dedicated time to his work during the day.
Matteo Bruni, the Vatican spokesperson, noted that the latest medical update no longer categorizes the Pope's condition as critical, as was stated in previous communications.
However, Bruni emphasized that there are no new details regarding the duration of the Pope's hospitalization or whether he will be able to greet the faithful from the clinic window on Sunday.
Pope Francis has been hospitalized since February 14, and during a press conference on February 21, doctors mentioned that he would need at least another week of treatment.
Additionally, the Vatican announced that the audience scheduled for Saturday had been canceled.
A rosary prayer event will take place on Thursday evening in St. Peter's Square, led by Cardinal Baldassare Reina, the vicar general for the Roman diocese.
