The Holy See Press Office provides an update on the Pope’s health: no new episodes of asthma-like respiratory distress; a slight reduction in oxygen flow and levels; and improved test results. His mild kidney insufficiency is not a cause for concern. Pope Francis has resumed work and, in the evening, called the parish in Gaza.

By Vatican News

On Monday evening, the Holy See Press Office provided the following update on Pope Francis' health: 

The Holy Father's clinical condition, despite its severity, has shown a slight improvement.

No episodes of asthma-like respiratory distress occurred today, and some laboratory tests have shown improvement. The monitoring of his mild kidney insufficiency has not raised any concerns. Oxygen therapy continues, although with slightly reduced flow and oxygen levels.

Given the complexity of the clinical picture, the doctors are prudently maintaining their cautious prognosis.

Pope had good tenth night in hospital
24/02/2025

Pope Francis slept well on his tenth night at Rome's Gemelli Hospital, where he is being treated for double pneumonia, according to the Holy See Press Office.

In the morning, the Pope received the Eucharist, while in the afternoon, he resumed his work.

In the evening, he called the parish priest of Gaza to express his paternal closeness.

Pope Francis thanks the entire People of God, who in these days have gathered to pray for his health.

It has been reported that the Holy Family parish in Gaza had sent a video, and the Pope called to thank them.

It has also been confirmed that the news spread by a French outlet about an apartment that Rome’s Isola Tiberina – Gemelli Isola Hospital reportedly made available to Pope Francis for a supposed transfer is false. In reality, it is an apartment for private patients.
