The medical team announced that Pope Francis will be discharged from the hospital today and has been advised to rest carefully for two months, according to Reuters on March 23.
Dr. Sergio Alfieri, head of surgery at Gemelli Hospital, announced an update on Pope Francis' health on March 22.
Pope Francis will be discharged from the hospital today (March 23) and return to his residence at the Saint Martha guesthouse in the Vatican City State, where he will need to recuperate for two months, Reuters quoted Dr. Sergio Alfieri, head of surgery at Gemelli Hospital, as saying.
The doctor confirmed that the Pope's health has been steadily recovering over the past two weeks.
The exact date of the Pope's discharge from the hospital remains unclear, but the Vatican previously stated that he would go to the window of his hospital room after midday prayers to greet and bless his supporters.
Since being hospitalized on February 14th, the head of the Catholic Church has only been seen once through photographs and has spoken once in a pre-recorded message.
The Pope experienced several respiratory crises before doctors concluded he was out of danger on March 10th.
Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, said on March 21 that the Pope's health is improving, but after a long period of high-dose oxygen therapy, the Holy Father needs to practice speaking again.
Cardinal Fernández added that "a new phase" has opened in Pope Francis's pontificate and the cardinal expects some surprises from him after his discharge from the hospital.
After being discharged from the hospital, the Pope is still unable to meet many people immediately. It remains unclear whether the audience with King Charles and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom on April 8th will be able to take place.
Despite his health condition, the Pope has continued to run the Vatican from his sickroom on several days, including approving canonizations. Last week, he sent a letter to the editor of the Corriere della Sera newspaper, appealing for peace and disarmament.
