VATICAN CITY: Pope Francis, who is being treated in hospital for double pneumonia, is not in danger of death but has not been fully cured and his condition could yet change, one of his doctors said on Friday (Feb 21).
“Is he out of danger? No. But if the question is ‘is he in danger of death’, the answer is ‘no’,” Sergio Alfieri told a press conference.
Francis is being treated at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, where he was admitted on Feb 14 after struggling with breathing difficulties for several days.
Double pneumonia is a serious infection that can inflame and scar both lungs, making it difficult to breathe.
