Pope Francis, who has been fighting pneumonia and bronchitis for more than three weeks, has shown a “good response” to treatment, said the Vatican.
“The clinical condition of the Holy Father in recent days has remained stable and, consequently, indicates a good response to treatment,” said the Vatican.
“Therefore, there is a gradual and light improvement,” he added.
The 88 -year -old prayed Saturday morning in the chapel of the Papal Suite at the Gemelli Hospital in RomeWhere it is being treated.
The Argentine pontiff has not been seen in public since he entered the hospital, his longest stretching away from the public eye since his papacy began 12 years ago.
He was admitted to the hospital on February 14 after experiencing respiratory difficulties, and first treated for bronchitis before being diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs.
It is particularly vulnerable to pneumonia, an infection of the lungs that can be caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi, after contracting Pleuresy, an inflammation of the lungs, like a young man and had a elimination of partial lung.
Pope’s doctors believe that it is likely that they face a long way to recovery, due to their medical age and history.
