Pope Francis on Friday decided to go to Rome's Gemelli hospital for treatment and tests after suffering a bout of bronchitis, the Vatican said.
"This morning, after his audiences, Pope Francis will be admitted to the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic for necessary diagnostic tests and to continue hospital treatment for his ongoing bronchitis," the Vatican press office said.
The 88-year-old Argentine pontiff has had aides read out several of his recent addresses because he said he did not feel well enough to deliver them himself.
