Geneva - Pope Francis is in stable condition, and X-rays show improvement in his health in recent days, the Vatican said in a statement on Wednesday (12/3).
"The Holy Father's clinical condition remains stable in the context of an overall complex medical picture. The chest X-ray performed yesterday radiologically confirmed the improvement that had been observed in the previous days," the Vatican said in a statement.
The 88-year-old pope has been undergoing treatment at Rome's Gemelli Hospital since February 14. He receives high-flow oxygen therapy during the day and non-invasive mechanical ventilation at night.
He was elected as the successor to Pope Benedict XVI at the age of 76, on March 13, 2013, and chose the name Francis.
