Archbishop Anastasios of Albania remains in critical condition after emergency surgery on Friday, January 10, to treat severe internal bleeding.

The 95-year-old religious leader, hospitalised at Evangelismos Hospital in Athens, Greece for the past eight days, underwent laparoscopic surgery to address bleeding in his small intestine.

Despite previous treatment, his condition deteriorated early Friday, and he was moved back to the Intensive Care Unit, intubated.

Doctors have emphasised that the next 48 hours are critical for his recovery.
