Pope Still Complex Picture, Prognosis Still Guarded

Rome: Pope Francis’s clinical picture as he battles pneumonia in a Rome hospital is still “complex” and therefore his prognosis must still be guarded, the Vatican’s latest medical bulletin said Monday. “The doctors, considering the complexity of the clinical picture, are prudently not releasing the prognosis yet,” said the bulletin released by Vatican press office on the conditions of the 88-year-old Argentine pontiff at Gemelli Hospital.

According to Ansa News Agency, in the morning he received the Eucharist, while in the afternoon he resumed work activities.
