Shafaq News/ Pope Francis experienced two “severe” episodes of breath shortness caused by heavy mucus accumulation, the Vatican announced on Monday.
The 88-year-old pontiff, according to the Vatican, underwent two bronchoscopies to suction the secretions and is “awake, alert, and cooperative.”
Pope Francis has been receiving treatment at Rome's Gemelli Hospital since February 14 and has not made any public appearances since then. Despite some signs of improvement, doctors remained cautious about his overall condition.
