Papal Doctor: Pope Has ‘No Particular Illnesses’ and ‘Is Doing Well Consistent With His Age’

National Catholic Register, Edward Pentin:

Pope Francis currently has “no particular illnesses,” is “doing well consistent with his age,” and has the “head of a 60-year-old,” a doctor who has operated on him in recent years has said.

In a March 25 interview in Corriere della Sera, Dr. Sergio Alfieri, who operated on Pope Francis twice in the last three years, in July 2021 and June 2023, said the Pope “is doing well consistent with his age and his episodic breathing difficulties during colder periods, also due to previous lung surgery he underwent many years ago.” Report is here.
