JAKARTA - Pope Francis' condition is still in critical condition and has not been "free from danger", according according to a medical report published by the Vatican Press Office on Saturday evening local time.

"This morning, Pope Francis experienced respiratory problems due to prolonged asthma, so it is necessary to provide high-flow oxygen," the report said.

According to reports, blood tests carried out on Saturday showed symptoms of thrombostytopenia, which was associated with anemia, whose treatment required blood transfusions.

Sri Paus is still conscious and spending her time sitting on a chair, but she reportedly "suffering more than yesterday."

Pope Francis began receiving medical treatment at Agostino Gemelli Hospital, Rome, since Friday, February 14, 2025 due to bronchitis which later became pneumonia in both lungs.

On Friday afternoon, February 21, the head of the medical team dealing with Pope Francis, Professor Sergio Rightri, stated that the Sri Paus still has not recovered but it is certain that he is not in a life-threatening condition.

"Sri Paus tetap belum keluar dari bahaya," kata kapri dalam konferensi pers di RS Agostino Gemelli. " Namun hidupnya tidak terancam," kata dia.

Sacri stated that the Pope had a lung infection and the biggest threat was the occurrence of complications of infection, or sepsis, in his blood.
