Catholic pontiff, Pope Francis, was hospitalized in the early hours of Friday.
Francis was taken to the hospital for tests and to continue treatment for his ongoing bronchitis, the Vatican said.
Confirming the development, the Vatican said the pontiff was taken to the Policlinico Agostino Gemelli.
A statement by the Vatican said: “This morning, at the end of his audiences, Pope Francis was admitted to the Policlinico Agostino Gemelli for some necessary diagnostic tests and to continue his treatment for bronchitis, which is still ongoing, in a hospital environment.”
Francis, 88, has been pope since 2013 and has suffered from influenza and other health problems several times over the past two years.
In early February, Pope Francis was unable to deliver a public address due to an ongoing health challenge, bronchitis. https://dailypost.ng/2025/02/12/again-pope-francis-skips-public-address-due-to-health-condition/
DAILY POST reports that during the weekly general audience at the Vatican, the pope, who leads 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide, asked a priest to read his prepared statement on his behalf.
The 88-year-old pontiff explained that he was unable to read it aloud himself.
Recall that the pope had to stop his sermon midway and asked a colleague to finish delivering the rest of the address.
He attributed the interruption to breathing difficulties.
The pope has had to adjust his schedule multiple times due to his declining health, particularly with respiratory issues that worsen during the winter months.
