Pope Francis Admitted to Hospital

Pope Francis has been hospitalized in Rome due to bronchitis, which caused him respiratory problems for over a week. The pontiff had been experiencing breathing difficulties, leading him to have others read his speeches. Earlier this month, during a weekly audience, he mentioned suffering from a severe cold, later diagnosed as bronchitis by the Vatican.

The head of the Roman Catholic Church has faced health issues in recent years, previously being hospitalized for bronchitis in 2023, where he was discharged after three nights.
