It was 21 years old that Francisco received a diagnosis that would condition his life. Doctors told him that he suffered from inflammation in respiratory tissues, so he was removed from his right lung in 1967. In 2004, as with his father, Francisco received another bad news: he suffered from excessive fat accumulation in the liver. In the same year, the Vatican announced that he suffered from heart problems. The Pope also suffers from sciatic nerve pain in a chronic way. And it was this inflammation that led the Pope to the first time to an event. In 2021, the leader of the Catholic Church was forced to remove part of the large intestine because of an inflammation, common in people over 50. In the last three years, the Pope has been seen more often in a wheelchair. It complains a lot of pain in the right knee, a problem that forced you to cancel multiple events. But I did not want to be operated on having had bad experiences with previous anesthesia. Later, in late 2023, he canceled the trip to COP28 in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. And it is from a respiratory infection that suffers now, but with a bacterial aggravating. It is bilateral pneumonia, ie in both lungs.
