Pope Francis Discharged After Extended Hospitalization

Pope Francis, aged 88, has been discharged from Rome’s Gemelli Hospital after a 38-day hospitalization due to double pneumonia. Upon his release, he returned to the Vatican, where he is expected to continue his recovery over the next two months, during which he has been advised to avoid large gatherings and strenuous activities. ​

During his hospital stay, Pope Francis experienced two episodes of acute respiratory failure, necessitating urgent medical interventions, including bronchoscopy procedures to clear his airways. Despite these challenges, his condition stabilized, and he was able to engage in limited activities, such as celebrating Mass and addressing the faithful. ​

The Pope’s hospitalization and subsequent recovery have been closely followed by Catholics worldwide. His return to the Vatican has been met with relief and joy among the faithful, who continue to pray for his health and well-being.
