Pope Francis to be discharged from hospital on Sunday
Pope Francis will be discharged from Rome’s Gemelli hospital on Sunday, doctors treating him have said.
The 88-year-old was admitted to the hospital on 14 February with double pneumonia.
During the past five weeks, he presented “two very critical episodes” where his “life was in danger”, according to Dr Sergio Alfieri, one of the doctors treating the Pope.
Pope Francis was never intubated and always remained alert and oriented, Dr Alfieri said. The Pope is now in a stable condition and will need at least two months of rest at the Vatican.
“Today we are happy to say that tomorrow he will be at home,” Dr Alfieri told reporters on Saturday.
