A Quick Update on Pope Francis' Health
Pope to Emerge for First Public Outing Following Hospital Stay - Pope Set to Make First Public Appearance After Hospital Stay
After a five-week battling bilateral pneumonia, Pope Francis has been given the green light to leave Rome's Gemelli Hospital on March 23, 2025. His doctors have confirmed that he has shown significant improvements, but he is still under close medical scrutiny. Despite two near-death experiences during his hospital stay, the Pope has shown remarkable determination and cooperation with his medical team.
The 88-year-old Pontiff continues to rely on oxygen therapy, medication, physical therapy, and respiratory physiotherapy for his recovery. During his hospitalization, he faced severe respiratory crises, including bronchospasm and complications from a coughing fit. However, a combination of treatment and his body's response to it helped ease the lung infection.
What's Next for the Pope?
Due to his health, Pope Francis has been advised to take a breather with minimal physical activity for the next two months. He's been cautioned to avoid large gatherings to reduce the risk of any potential complications. While his recovery is promising, the Vatican remains cautious about his prognosis. The Pope will continue with his medical treatments and therapies to support his recuperation.
In light of his health concerns, the Vatican has revised the Pope's public engagement schedule. He missed a few Sunday Angelus prayers, with prepared messages being shared instead. The Holy See aims to ensure the Pope's steady recovery without compromising his well-being.
Stay tuned for more updates on Pope Francis's health and subsequent activities.
For the first time since his hospitalization in March 2025 due to bilateral pneumonia, Pope Francis will once again publicly show himself once he is discharged from Rome's Gemelli Hospital. Despite his battle with bronchitis during his hospital stay, the Pope's doctors have announced that he has demonstrated significant improvements. However, the Pope is still under close medical scrutiny and will continue with his medical treatments and therapies for the next couple of months, including oxygen therapy, medication, physical therapy, and respiratory physiotherapy.
