Pope Francis "is fine" as his medical condition is not life-threatening, but he is expected to remain hospitalized for at least all of next week, his doctors in Italy announced Friday.
Gemelli hospital Dr. Sergio Alfieri and Francis’ personal physician, Dr. Luigi Carbone, spoke as the 88-year-old pope marked his first week in a hospital with pneumonia on top of chronic bronchitis.
"The pope is fine," Alfieri told reporters Friday, noting that Francis instructed he and Carbone to provide an update.
Alfieri added that the pope is getting the same treatment as anyone with his condition would get.
