Pope Francis was admitted to hospital in Rome on Friday for tests and treatment for bronchitis. The Vatican announced the 88-year-old had been breathless in recent days and has delegated officials to read his speeches. He was hospitalized at Rome's Gemelli hospital for some necessary diagnostic tests and to continue treatment for ongoing bronchitis in a hospital setting, the Vatican said. The pope, who had part of one lung removed as a young man, has been suffering with breathing difficulties for over a week. He has been forced to ask aides several times to read his speeches aloud on his behalf. Francis was admitted to hospital for three nights in March 2023 with bronchitis. This was cured with antibiotics. And in December that year he had to cancel a visit to Dubai to participate in the United Nations COP28 climate change conference due to another bout of bronchitis. The Argentine pontiff has been plagued in recent years by health issues. These include knee and hip pain, an inflamed colon, and surgery for a hernia.
