Pope Francis underwent a successful, three-hour operation on his abdomen, the Vatican said Wednesday, after renewed fears over the 86-year-old’s fragile health.
Pope Francis showed a “clear improvement” on Thursday after being given intravenous antibiotics for a bronchitis infection and could be released from the hospital in the next few days, according to the Vatican.
Pope Francis will be hospitalized for “a few days” for the treatment of a respiratory infection, the Vatican said on Wednesday, raising concerns over the health of the 86-year-old pontiff.
