Pope Francis makes first appearance from Rome hospital
Pope Francis has appeared at the window of the hospital in Rome for the first time since being admitted on 14 February.
The 88-year-old pontiff will be discharged on Sunday and will need at least two months of rest at the Vatican, doctors treating him have said.
During the past five weeks, he presented “two very critical episodes” where his “life was in danger”, Dr Sergio Alfieri, one of the doctors treating the Pope, said.
Pope Francis was never intubated and always remained alert and oriented, Dr Alfieri said. The Pope is not completely healed, but no longer has pneumonia and is now in a stable condition, according to his doctors.
“Today we are happy to say that tomorrow he will be at home,” Dr Alfieri told reporters on Saturday.
