Pope Francis’ ‘complex’ health crisis triggers wave of prayer and uncertainty across Rome
Local media reports highlight the Pope’s serious health condition, noting that all public engagements have been postponed. The 88-year-old pontiff is battling severe pneumonia affecting both lungs, complicated by a polymicrobial infection involving viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites.
This has raised concerns among medical professionals and the global community. Recent tests revealed that his current treatment plan needs adjustment, as it has not been effective. Initially admitted for bronchitis, his condition worsened, leading to extended hospitalization.
The Pope also has a history of lung issues, including losing part of a lung due to a past infection, further complicating his situation.
