Vatican reports steady and gradual improvement in Pope's health

The pontiff continues to receive oxygen during high-flow therapy. Oxygen is fed to him nasally using tubes, and at night the head of the Roman Catholic Church requires much less non-invasive artificial ventilation of the lungs using a mask. “The Pope’s clinical condition has remained stable, confirming the progress made over the past week,” the statement said. In addition, the clergyman still requires inpatient treatment, including motor and respiratory physiotherapy. The health of Pope Francis shows further gradual improvement. Earlier it was reported that the pontiff came out of a critical phase, but still remains in hospital. Doctors treating the Pope expressed optimism, noting a steady improvement in his health. The 88-year-old still needs hospital treatment for the next few days, given the complexity of his clinical situation and the initial infection. The press service confirmed that recent improvements in health, noticeable in the results of tests and the overall clinical picture, as well as a good response to medications, are grounds for optimism. On March 8, the press service reported a slight improvement in the condition of the pope, who had been in hospital for three weeks with a diagnosis of bilateral pneumonia. Doctors noted that his state of health is stable, which indicates a positive response to therapy. About the hospitalization of the pontiff became known on February 14, when he was admitted to the clinic Gemelli in Rome. He received a blood transfusion on February 22.
