Vatican Addresses Pope Francis' Swollen Hand

The Holy See Press Office announced on the evening of March 17

“Pope Francis’ condition is stable, with slight improvements with respiratory and MSK physiotherapy

He is needing less high-flow oxygen via nasal cannulae and at times can do without oxygen therapy.

At night, he uses noninvasive mechanical ventilation.

The swelling in his hand seen in the photo taken and published yesterday is due to decreased mobility, but it has already improved today.”

The Pope spent the day between prayers, rest and some work activities. The next medical bulletin is scheduled for Wednesday.”
