The health of Pope Francis It is again a matter of concern in the Vatican and in the world. After his recent hospitalization at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, the Supreme Pontiff, 88, faces a picture of respiratory failure that has generated uncertainty about its evolution.
Mario Roberto KenarArgentine cardiologist who attended Jorge Bergoglio for 17 years in his native country, expressed concern about the pontiff’s state and gave details about his health. “He is hospitalized with respiratory failure, with oxygen. When an 88 -year -old is critical, it means that he is serious and that he could die, ”warned the doctor in dialogue with Mauro Federico in Delta 90.3.
The Pope has suffered various health problems throughout his lifeincluding a respiratory history in its youth and a heart problem that was solved with treatment. However, its current state responds, to a large extent, to its advanced age and bilateral pneumonia that has complicated its painting. “He is a person who took great care, came to the controls early, at seven in the morning. But what it has now is a catarral picture that was complicated and evolved to respiratory failure, ”Kenar explained.
The Vatican, known for his secrecy in papal health matters, has handled information about Francisco’s evolution. Meanwhile, in circles close to the Pontiff, it is speculated on its possible refusal to undergo invasive treatments in case of greater deterioration. “He never wanted great instrumentation. If they are going to put it in mechanical respiratory assistance because it is very bad, in the end their opinion must be that it does not want to enter that, ”said the Argentine doctor.
Francisco has expressed his vision on death and dignity in the last moments of life. Kenar confirms it: “He is a very respectful man of life and death. We are all going to die, let’s not make a story where there is no. Let’s go with dignity, without pain. ”
While the Catholic world remains attentive to medical parts and multiplies the chain of prayers for its recovery, the Pope Francisco is still admitted to the prestigious Gemelli Hospitalwhere it receives the best medical attention in Italy. However, uncertainty persists and the Holy See would already be preparing for any eventuality.
