VATICAN CITY: The Vatican confirmed Pope Francis’ condition is critical but stable. He has no acute respiratory episodes, and vital signs remain steady.
On Tuesday evening, the Pope underwent a scheduled CT scan to monitor his bilateral pneumonia. Doctors continue to observe his health closely.
Ongoing Treatment
Pope Francis was admitted to Agostino Gemelli Hospital in Rome on February 14 due to severe bronchitis. He is also being treated for pneumonia.
Medical reports indicate he is receiving oxygen therapy, though doctors have slightly reduced its flow as his oxygen levels improve.

Despite his condition, Pope Francis resumed some work activities after receiving the Eucharist. He remains under strict medical supervision.

His medical team continues to assess his progress daily, with twice-daily updates informing the public of any significant changes.
Global Concern
The faithful worldwide continue to pray for Pope Francis’ recovery. Church leaders express hope for his improved health amid ongoing treatments.
