Pope Francis will be discharged from Rome’s Gemelli hospital on Sunday and will need at least two months of rest at the Vatican, doctors treating him have said.
The 88-year-old was admitted to the hospital on 14 February with a severe respiratory infection that resulted in double pneumonia.
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.
