The facility treating Pope Francis

One of its most famous patients outside Jamelli Hospital in Rome is a large statue of Pope John Paul II.

Made of white Carrara marble, it reflects Pontif in its later years, climbing on a cross and penetrated into pain in his eyebrow.

After shooting a failed murder at St. Peter Square in May 1981, doctors at Jameli Hospital helped save John Paul’s life. He performed a six -hour operation to remove a pill from his stomach.

This was the first time the Pope was treated at Rome’s largest hospital.

The current patients of the hospital are Pope Francis, who was admitted with a respiratory infection last week. They have been detected pneumonia in both lungs.

During his 25-year long lasting lasting, John Paul was admitted about 10 times, sometimes to stay for a long time. He received treatment for various diseases, including a benign intestinal tumor, a broken hip and a tracotomy, when his Parkinson’s disease was in a advanced stage.

Jamelli, a Catholic education hospital, was opened in the 1960s. With more than 1500 beds, it is one of the largest private hospitals in Europe.

Made on the land donated by Pope Pius Xi to the religiousist and physician and physician Avostino Jemeli in 1934, it is known as the “Hospital of the Pope”. John Paul II also named it “Vatican Three”, with St. Peter’s square Vatican One, and Castel Gandolfo, Pope residence in Vatican Two.

In the 1980s, Jamelli installed a special Pope suit, which is still in use.

It is a small apartment on the tenth floor, which is an all-white suite, with ordinary, simple equipment. Along with the bedroom and bathroom, there is a living room, with a chapel and a large crucifix with a sofa bed and a knee for your colleagues, where you can participate in the Pope month or celebrate the mass and say prayer Can

The Long Access Corridor leading for suite has been preserved by the protection of the Italian State Police, the Vatican Genderry and the hospital.

The pope suite is reserved for pop, but other patients are treated on the same floor.

There is a balcony where the Pope may appear to congratulate Wafadar and to say weekly angelus prayer.

Pontif’s health is often gathered well in the square outside the hospital to pray for the health. Flowers, cards, photos and candles are often placed in the leg of the statue of John Paul II.

According to official announcements, Pope Benedict XVI was never hospitalized during his 8 -year -old sinner, although when he received his brother’s treatment in 2014, he visited.

Pope Francis has been treated several times in Jamelli. In 2013, he performed an operation on his colon. He was treated for infectious bronchitis in March 2023, and was later surgery for intestinal hernia that year.

He is often seen thanking his medical team and other hospital staff. At the end of a migration, he baptized a newborn child, and shared a pizza dinner with his doctors, nurses, assistants and the Vatican security personnel.
