POPE Francis has been admitted to Gemilli hospital in Rome, after complaining of breathing difficulties in recent days.
This was made known to the public on Wednesday through the Vatican spokesperson, Matteo Bruni, who also confirmed the cancellation of the Pope’s meetings for the next two weeks.
Bruni said medical checks had been carried out on the pontiff at the Gemelli hospital, where the Pope underwent surgery in 2021.
“In recent days, Pope Francis has complained of some breathing difficulties, and the tests had picked up a respiratory infection.
“Covid-19 has been ruled out by the tests but the Pope would require a few days of appropriate hospital medical therapy.
“Pope Francis is touched by the many messages received and expresses his gratitude for the closeness and prayers,” Bruni said in a statement.
