Cardinal Richard Kuuia Baawobr is expected to undergo heart surgery in Rome by the end of this week, according to the spokesman for the Ghana Catholic bishops' conference.
The African cardinal was hospitalized in the Santo Spirito Hospital in Rome last week shortly before the Vatican ceremony in which he was to receive a red biretta from Pope Francis.
Father Dieu-Donne Kofi Davor, the communications director for the Ghana Catholic bishops’ conference, told CNA on Aug. 31 that the “surgery will take place before the week ends.”
“We are praying for his speedy recovery and return to Ghana soon,” Davor said.
