Francis at the Gemelli Clinic
The Pope was admitted to the Gemelli Clinic on February 14. Initially, it was reported that he was suffering from bronchitis, which later developed into bilateral pneumonia.
The original plan was for the Pope to remain at the Gemelli Polyclinic until March 2. However, his condition worsened, and doctors have only recently noticed a slight improvement. Even after his return to the Vatican, Pope Francis will have to continue long-term treatment.
