Francisco was admitted at the end of March to the Gemelli hospital in Rome by “acute pneumonia”as he explained during the return flight from his trip to Hungary.

“What I’ve had is that I felt bad after the hearing, I didn’t want to eat and I went to sleep, but I didn’t lose consciousness, I just had a high fever,” explained the Pope when asked about the reasons for his three-day hospitalization in the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome.

And added: “But the body has reacted well to the treatment”Francisco added to the journalists on the plane, who left after three days hospitalized and continued with his busy schedule, even during Holy Week.
