Doctors "happy" Pope is going home, say 2 months of rest ahead

Pope Francis will be discharged from hospital on Sunday, March 23, but will need a further two months of rest at the Vatican, the head of his medical team said on Saturday, March 22.

Francis, 88, has been battling pneumonia for more than five weeks after being admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital on February 14 with a severe respiratory infection that became the most serious health crisis of his 12-year papacy.

While Francis will return to the Vatican on Sunday, his doctors said it would take some time for his ageing body to fully heal.
