After being admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital on February 14 with respiratory difficulties, the 88 -year -old Pontiff’s condition raised widespread concern as he worsened in pneumonia in both lungs.
But there has been no recurrence of the respiratory crisis that has suffered and since then the Vatican has published more optimistic medical updates.
Pope Francis has been facing several health problems in the last two years. Due to the fact that he had developed pleuritis at an early age and had removed part of one lung, it is prone to pulmonary infections.
Double pneumonia is a serious infection in both lungs, which can cause inflammation and scars, making breathing difficult.
Cardinal Michael Czerny, head of the Vatican Development Office, said in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Stampa that Franciscus is improving, though “slower than we would like”.
As Pope Francis recovers from bilateral pneumonia at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, the Major Penitentiary of Apostolic Penitentiary, Cardinal Angelo De Donatis, will preside at the traditional celebration of the Ash Wednesday liturgy on the Aventine Hill.
