Pope Francis will go into the hospital in Rome for treatment for bronchitis and medical examinations, the Vatican said on Friday.
This is the latest in a string of ailments that have raised concerns about the 88-year-old pontiff’s health.
“This morning, at the end of the audiences, Pope Francis will be admitted to the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic for some necessary diagnostic tests and to continue in a hospital setting treatment for bronchitis that is still ongoing,” the Vatican said.
Francis has made a number of visits to the hospital in recent years, and received abdominal surgery in 2023.
