The Pope’s health is in critical condition after an respiratory crisis


The Vatican press office announced on Saturday that the case of Pope Francis is still critical after suffering a usurious respiratory crisis this morning, which necessitated giving him high oxygen flows.

The 88 -year -old Pope suffered from a severe respiratory seizure that needed blood transfusion and use of oxygen intensively. The statement indicated that the Pope has been very painful since Friday, and that his health is still unstable.


The Vatican stated that blood tests showed a deficiency of platelets, causing anemia, which necessitated additional medical measures. Nevertheless, medical reports confirmed that his condition does not threaten his life at the present time.

It is noteworthy that this is the second time in a row that the Pope is entered into Jimili Hospital in Rome, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs, which complicates his health condition because the Pope lost part of his lungs in his youth stage due to surgery at the age of 19 years .
