The Vatican has declared Pope Francis' condition "critical" after the 88-year-old pontiff's health worsened due to double pneumonia, requiring oxygen and blood transfusions.
The Vatican has reported a significant decline in Pope Francis' health, describing his condition as "critical" for the first time.
The 88-year-old Pope, who has been battling double pneumonia, suffered an "asthma-like respiratory crisis" in the past 24 hours, which required immediate medical intervention. Doctors provided supplemental oxygen and blood transfusions to stabilize his condition.
While Pope Francis has remained alert and was able to spend the day sitting in a chair, his health has worsened compared to previous days.
Pope Francis was admitted to the hospital on February 14th after experiencing breathing difficulties, and his condition has become increasingly concerning. His medical team has been closely monitoring his status, but the Vatican’s most recent statement highlights the severity of his illness.
In response to the news, thousands of devoted followers, including priests, nuns, and civilians, have gathered outside Rome's Gemelli Hospital to pray for the Pope's recovery. Many are lighting candles and holding vigils, hoping for a miraculous turnaround. The Pope's close followers are expressing their deep concern, and messages of support have poured in from around the world.
The Vatican has asked for continued prayers for the Pope and his medical team during this critical time.
