The health status of Pope Francis continues to be a topic of uncertainty for everyone. The Pontiff has been hospitalized at the Gemelli University Hospital, a large general hospital in Rome, Italy, since February 14, and his medical situation remains a cause for concern.
On his radio Mitre "Alguien tiene que decirlo" program, Eduardo Feinmann shared reflections on the delicate health condition of the Pope, echoing recent international reports on his condition.
Feinmann took as a starting point an article published by the Italian newspaper Il Tempo, which quoted pulmonologist Paolo Palange from the Sapienza University of Rome who highlighted the difficulty of speaking with certainty about Francis's future health, as the official Vatican reports are presented partially, "It is very difficult to talk about the future health of the Pope, because the reports are very partial." This lack of clarity increases the uncertainty about the Pontiff's prognosis.
The respiratory disease expert explained that the Pope has severe bronchial obstruction, which forces his body to rely on high oxygen flows. Palange described the Pope's health status as "reserved," due to the complexity of the situation, "Without a doubt, he has obstructed bronchi and the status is reserved, because there is a strong dependence on high oxygenation flows."
