Pope Francis, 88, remains hospitalized for a fourth day due to a respiratory tract infection, raising concerns about his upcoming commitments. The Vatican spokesperson reported that the Pope had breakfast and read newspapers on Monday morning while continuing his prescribed drug therapies. His medical condition is described as 'fair,' and a detailed update on his health is expected later in the day.
The Pope was admitted to Gemelli hospital in Rome after his bronchitis worsened following a weeklong battle. Doctors diagnosed him with a respiratory tract infection and advised 'absolute rest' along with unspecified drug treatments. Despite his age and health challenges, Pope Francis is known for his tireless work ethic.
