Pope Francis’s Health Stable but Complicated Due to Pneumonia

Vatican City: The fact that Pope Francis’s prognosis has been ‘dissolved’ means he is not in imminent danger but the clinical picture as he battles pneumonia remains complex, Vatican sources said Monday night.

According to Ansa News Agency, other dangers persist, also because of his age (88), and that is why he must stay in hospital, to be treated in a protected environment, they said. They noted that there had been positive signs but prudence remained.

On Monday night, again, the pope will move onto non-invasive mechanical ventilation, with an oxygen mask, the sources said.
