Pope Francis leaves hospital on Sunday, March 23, after recovering from an acute respiratory infection and bilateral pneumonia. Doctors at Rome’s Agostino Gemelli Hospital confirmed his steady improvement since his admission on February 14.
The 86-year-old pontiff will return to his residence at Casa Santa Marta to continue his recovery. Dr. Sergio Alfieri, head of the medical team, stated that while his pneumonia has cleared, he will need at least two months to fully recover.
Despite his health challenges, Pope Francis remains engaged in global and church affairs. He has followed updates closely and cooperated well with his medical team.
The Vatican confirmed that Pope Francis leaves hospital but will not immediately resume public engagements. However, he is expected to gradually return to his normal activities in the coming weeks.
