Pope Francis, 88, was hospitalized for tests and continued bronchitis treatment, the Vatican confirmed. Despite recent health issues, including falls, he has maintained his schedule.
Pope Francis was taken to hospital on Friday morning for tests and to continue treatment of his ongoing bronchitis, the Vatican said.
"This morning, at the end of his audiences, Pope Francis was admitted to the Policlinico Agostino Gemelli for some necessary diagnostic tests and to continue his treatment for bronchitis, which is still ongoing, in a hospital environment," it said in a statement.
Francis, 88, has been pope since 2013 and has suffered from influenza and other health problems several times over the past two years.
Earlier this month, Francis told pilgrims at a weekly audience that he was suffering from a "strong cold," which the Vatican later described as bronchitis.
