Pope Francis has been hospitalised to treat bronchitis and undergo some necessary diagnostic tests on Friday, the Vatican said in a statement.
He is being treated at Rome’s Gemelli Polyclinic hospital after his daily audiences have concluded.
The 88-year-old was diagnosed with bronchitis last Thursday and he has continued his activities and audiences indoors at Casa Santa Marta, the Vatican residence where he lives, with a public appearance on Sunday.
