Pope's health problems

The Pope has been suffering from bronchitis for more than a week, which made inpatient treatment necessary. The spokesman for the Holy Stuhl confirmed that Francis was brought to the clinic after pre -annual audiences for the implementation of necessary diagnostic examinations. Medical care continues and it is expected that doctors regularly update his state of health, as T-Online reported.

In the past few months, the Pope has often suffered from health problems. A fall in early January led to an injury that forced him to use a noose. In addition, he had to fall back on a wheelchair in the past because of other symptoms such as knee pain and sciatic problems. Despite these difficulties, he remains active and continues to show interest in the matters of the international community, including a telephone conversation with the parish of the Holy Family in Gaza. The voice of the Pontifex sounded tired in this conversation, but he was optimistic and asked about the well -being of his conversation partners.
