Concerns regarding the health of the head of the church were apparently justified: Francis spent three nights in the Gemelli Clinic in Rome and was released on April 1 following antibiotic treatment.
Vatican City – Pope Francis suffered from “acute and severe” pneumonia before Easter, in his own words. Francis reported on Sunday on the return flight from his visit to Hungary that he had “severe pain” during an audience on March 29. “I didn’t lose consciousness, but I had a high fever” and following an examination, his doctor took him to the hospital “immediately”, added the 86-year-old.
Francis spent three nights at the Gemelli Clinic in Rome and was released on April 1 following a course of antibiotics. His body “reacted well to the treatment, thank God,” said the Pope, who led the Palm Sunday Mass in St “) donated. He only canceled his participation in the Way of the Cross in Rome on Good Friday.
Despite his health problems, he is sticking to his trip to World Youth Day in Lisbon in August, the Pope said. “I hope I can do it,” added the Catholic Church leader. In addition, trips to Marseille in southern France and Mongolia are planned. “The program keeps me moving,” joked the pope.
Francis’ hospitalization had caused great concern. The Pope has been suffering from health problems for a long time. Due to severe knee pain, he recently used a wheelchair once more and once more. (APA/AFP)
