VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis, who has been suffering from the flu, was brought to a hospital in central Rome after the papal audience on Wednesday for diagnostic testing, the Vatican said, without elaborating.
The pope arrived at the Gemelli Hospital on Tiber Island in a small white Fiat 500, leaving again under escort in the same car after a short visit.
Earlier in the day, the 86-year-old pope was pushed in a wheelchair into the audience hall at the Vatican, appearing weary as he dropped heavily into his seat. In recent weeks he has walked the short distance to his chair, but he has been struggling with mild flu symptoms the past week.
