Pope Francis' Health Shows Signs of Improvement Amid Pneumonia Diagnosis

Pope Francis' Health Shows Signs of Improvement Amid Pneumonia Diagnosis

The Vatican reports slight progress in the Pope's condition as he continues treatment for pneumonia affecting both lungs.
Pope Francis, aged 88, is currently hospitalized at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, where he is receiving treatment for pneumonia that has impacted both of his lungs.

On February 21, 2025, the Vatican reported that the Pope had experienced a 'good night' and was able to get up and have breakfast.

This update follows a previous announcement indicating a slight improvement in his health status.

The Vatican's health bulletin emphasized that the Pope is currently afebrile, indicating he has no fever, and his hemodynamic parameters, which relate to blood circulation, remain stable.

On the morning of February 21, the Pope received the Eucharist and engaged in his professional activities, which included liaising with close collaborators, reviewing documents, and making phone calls.

Cardinals have expressed encouragement regarding the Pope's recovery, stating that he is 'on the right path.' He was initially admitted to the hospital a week ago due to bronchitis, but his condition evolved to pneumonia, a serious lung infection that can be life-threatening.

This hospitalization marks the fourth time since 2021 that Pope Francis has required medical treatment, raising concerns about his overall health, particularly given his history of health issues, including colon surgery and mobility challenges.

Social media has seen the spread of false information regarding the Pope's health, including unfounded reports of his death.

Cardinal Juan José Omella of Spain labeled such rumors as 'a waste of time,' affirming that the Pope is 'doing much better' and noting the hope surrounding his response to treatment.

While there has been no official indication of how long the Pope will remain in the hospital, the Vatican has not confirmed whether he will preside over the upcoming Angelus prayer on Sunday.

This situation has reignited speculation regarding his ability to fulfill his papal duties, particularly since canon law lacks provisions addressing mental capacity in severe health crises.

The Bishop of Rome has received numerous messages of support from political and religious leaders, as well as tributes from individuals worldwide, including drawings from children.

Despite facing ongoing health challenges in recent years, Pope Francis has maintained a demanding schedule, which has raised concerns among his medical team regarding his pace.
