According to Italian media reports, Pope Francis was again treated in hospital. The 87-year-old recently suffered from the flu. It should just be a “check-up appointment.”
Pope Francis is said to have gone to the hospital immediately after the audience on Wednesday morning.
According to the “Corriere” it would be a series of investigations that the Pope will face. This is likely a computed tomography scan to check the condition of his lungs after the “mild flu” and cold of the past few days. The investigations are expected to last until early afternoon, after which the head of the church is expected to return to the Vatican. The Vatican is “not particularly concerned”; it is not the first time that the 87-year-old has had to undergo a CT scan.
The Pope, who has been in power since 2013, has been increasingly concerned about his health for some time. In recent months, more than 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide have had various problems with respiratory infections.
Last year, the Pope was admitted twice to a clinic in Rome, including abdominal surgery. Due to a knee problem, he now often sits in a wheelchair during public performances. The Argentinian could be the successor to German Pope Benedict XVI. will celebrate eleven years in office next month.
