Pope Francis Shows Signs of Improvement in Pneumonia Treatment

The 88-year-old Pontiff remains stable with slight progress, though concerns persist about his frailty and long-term prognosis.

Pope Francis' condition has stabilized, and he can temporarily breathe without oxygen support during the day.
He continues to require non-invasive mechanical ventilation at night to assist his breathing.
Doctors attribute his slight improvement to ongoing respiratory and physical therapy at Rome's Gemelli Hospital.
A newly released photo shows the Pope appearing frail and slightly hunched, raising concerns about his long-term health outlook.
Medical experts note the challenges posed by his advanced age and past lung surgery, which complicate his recovery.
