Geriatric check-up – Pope Francis examined in clinic in Rome

Date:

According to media reports, Pope Francis has undergone checkups at the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome. He was examined on Tuesday at the geriatric ward of Gemelli Hospital. The Vatican confirmed the hospitalization.

“Pope Francis had some clinical examinations carried out at Gemelli Hospital this morning and returned to the Vatican before noon,” said Matteo Bruni, head of the Vatican’s press service. No further details about the investigation were given. However, the investigation had been planned for a long time.

After the checks, the pope left the hospital and returned to the Santa Marta guest house in the Vatican, where he is staying. The Vatican has not released any information about the pope’s health.

At the end of March, the 86-year-old was also taken to the Gemelli Polyclinic due to bronchitis and was treated there for several days. He returned to the Vatican in time for Holy Week and Easter weekend celebrations. At the end of May he had to cancel scheduled hearings and appointments in one day due to fever.
