Pope Tawadros II, Pope of Alexandria, Patriarch of the See of St. Mark, was exposed to an emergency health ailment that required him to undergo medical examinations, while a spokesman for the Coptic Orthodox Church confirmed to “Sky News Arabia” that the Pope would undergo treatment in Egypt and that his general condition was good.
And the Coptic Orthodox Church Media Center announced on Sunday evening that “Pope Tawadros II prayed the Mass for the Feast of the Descent of the Holy Spirit on Sunday morning, in King Mariout, Alexandria, and then he was exposed to an emergency health problem.”“.
According to the media center, “the Pope underwent accurate medical examinations, which revealed that he had a simple infection in the seventh nerve, and the doctors advised him to take a rest period with some medications and physical therapy sessions.”“.
For his part, the spokesman for the Coptic Orthodox Church, Hegumen Musa Ibrahim, said in an exclusive statement to “Sky News Arabia” that:
* The general health of Pope Tawadros II is good and does not cause concern.
* The Pope will undergo treatment in Egypt and there is no need for any hospitalization procedures, because the infection is simple.
* The Pope’s schedule for interviews and individual activities has not been canceled and will continue to be performed.
* According to doctors’ advice, pastoral meetings or activities and sermons require effort and will therefore be postponed until the Pope makes a full recovery..
* It is not possible to determine the period for postponing pastoral activities and meetings because the seventh nerve infection in which the response to treatment differs from one patient to another, but in general the period for the Pope to stop participating in meetings will be for days only..
