The Vatican reports slight progress in the Pope's health, with ongoing medical supervision due to mild kidney failure.
Pope Francis remains in critical condition but has shown slight improvement, according to a statement from the Vatican press office on Monday evening.
The Vatican emphasized that the Pope has not experienced any asthma attacks since Saturday night and requires less oxygen.
Additionally, some of his medical test results have shown improvement.
Due to mild kidney failure,
Pope Francis is under continuous medical supervision; however, the Vatican noted that there is no reason for concern solely based on this condition.
Given the complexity of the clinical picture, the Pope's medical team has chosen not to provide any prognosis at this time.
Despite his health challenges,
Pope Francis has resumed some activities.
On Monday afternoon, he reached out to the Saint Family Catholic parish in Gaza City, expressing his pastoral closeness.
The Vatican highlighted the Pope's gratitude towards “the people of God” for their prayers regarding his health in recent days.
At 9 PM on the same day, a rosary prayer commenced in St. Peter's Square, led by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican Secretary of State, focusing on the health of
Pope Francis and all those suffering from illness.
The Pope has expressed his appreciation for the love shown to him by the public and has requested continued prayers.
