The Holy See has issued a new statement regarding the health status of Pope Francis, who has been hospitalized at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital for 13 days.

According to the information provided, his condition remains “critical but stable,” with a “reserved” prognosis. Despite his delicate state, the pontiff has continued to carry out duties during his hospitalization.

On Tuesday, Francis had a quiet night and is awaiting the results of a new test related to his bilateral pneumonia. The Vatican press office has emphasized that, although the health status of the Catholic Church leader is concerning, progress has been observed in his recovery.

A recent report indicates that the second computed tomography scan showed a “normal evolution of the inflammatory pulmonary condition,” suggesting an improvement in his respiratory health.

Additionally, it has been reported that the previously detected anemia “appears to be resolving,” and that blood platelet levels have increased, eliminating the low levels previously reported.

Pope Francis continues to receive oxygen therapy, albeit with “slightly reduced” flow compared to previous days.

Concern for his health has spread worldwide, with faithful followers and cardinals praying for his swift recovery from various parts of the world, including the Argentine capital and the iconic St. Peter’s Square, where a rosary was held in his honor.

This hospitalization marks the fourth and longest since 2021, intensifying concerns about the health issues that have affected the pontiff in recent years. The Catholic community and the world at large continue to await hopeful news regarding his recovery.
