Pope Francis Shows Slight Health Improvement in Hospital

Pope Francis, currently hospitalized for pneumonia, is showing slight improvements in his health, according to the Vatican. He has been able to spend some daytime hours without high-flow oxygen, transitioning to standard supplemental oxygen via a nasal tube. The Pope's condition remains stable, and he has been engaging in physiotherapy and some work while also participating in prayer. A recent photo captured him in a wheelchair, without any nasal tubes, marking the first image of him since his hospitalization began on February 14. Despite these improvements, the Vatican has not provided a timeline for his potential release or upcoming public events. The Pope's health challenges have drawn considerable public attention, with a mix of support and criticism regarding the transparency of his condition.
