Pope Francis Set to Leave Hospital on Sunday After Almost Six Weeks
Pope may depart from hospital this coming Sunday - Hospital Discharge Expected for Pope on Sunday
Hey there! Here's the scoop on the pope.
The badass pontiff, Pope Francis, is all set to bid adieu to the Agostino Gemelli Hospital in Rome this Sunday. His doctors dropped the bomb in the evening, stating that this 88-year-old religious leader has shown remarkable improvements in his health.
Since mid-February, the head honcho of the Catholic Church has been battling an acute respiratory tract infection and a case of bilateral pneumonia. Both conditions demanded a blend of hearty medication and intense treatment, resulting in two hair-raising moments when his life hung by a thread.
But here's the good news - Pope Francis' doctors have fought off the pneumonia and achieved a steady clinical advancement. These improvements have convinced them that he's ready to head back to Casa Santa Marta in the Vatican for recovery. He'll spend at least two months there, resting and receiving ongoing medical attention. It's all part of the doctor's orders – no avoiding it, mate!

- Once Pope Francis returns to Casa Santa Marta in the Vatican, he will follow a strict health care plan, which includes weeks of rest, medical attention, and close collaboration with his health care team.
