The Pope's clinical improvement
In recent days, news about the Pope's health has sparked renewed optimism. Doctors at the Gemelli Polyclinic have reported that the Holy Father is showing signs of improvement, so much so that he has stopped administering oxygen at night and reduced high-flow oxygen therapy during the day.
His infections, including bilateral pneumonia and polymicrobial infection, are now under control, although not completely eliminated.
Advances in Physiotherapy and General Health
The medical bulletin released by the Vatican Press Office highlighted that the Pope's clinical conditions continue to improve. The suspension of non-invasive mechanical ventilation is considered a positive step. Furthermore, the Pontiff was able to participate in the celebration of the Holy Mass on the occasion of the solemnity of Saint Joseph, a significant event that marks the twelfth anniversary of his pontificate. Clinical tests are stable and there is no fever or leukocytosis, signs of a recovering health.
Messages of support and reflections on the pontificate
In this context of improvement, President Sergio Mattarella sent a message of good wishes to the Pope, expressing gratitude for his service to the Church and humanity. The Holy Father has always emphasized the importance of tenderness in human relationships, a central theme of his pontificate. Despite the difficulties, the Pope continues to work, preparing messages and catechesis for the upcoming celebrations, thus demonstrating his constant commitment to the community.
