The health of Pope Francis has seen significant improvement, leading his medical team to confirm that he will leave the hospital and return to the Vatican this Sunday. The 88-year-old pontiff has been in treatment for severe pneumonia in both lungs over the past six weeks, a condition that has at times posed a threat to his life. The medical professionals caring for him reported stable progress over the last fortnight, though they emphasized that he requires continued rest and rehabilitation which will include therapy and oxygen assistance. They have advised him to avoid large crowds and potential sources of infection as he recuperates. Dr. Sergio Alfieri, who leads the pope’s medical team, noted that Francis was visibly eager to return home, highlighting the endless prayers from Catholics worldwide that have supported his recovery, demonstrated by nightly rosary gatherings in St. Peter’s Square.
