Dr. Sergio Alfieri, the chief physician treating Pope Francis, stated that the pontiff will be released on Sunday after more than a month in the hospital for double pneumonia treatment.

“The good news the world and everyone is waiting for is that tomorrow the Holy Father will be discharged. Tomorrow he will return to Santa Marta," Alfieri told reporters on Saturday evening.

Alfieri explained that the decision to discharge Pope Francis was based on his rapid recovery and improved prognosis, Vatican News reported.

He highlighted significant progress in the past week and confirmed that upon admission on February 14, the Pope had acute respiratory insufficiency due to a polymicrobial infection, resulting in bilateral pneumonia.

Alfieri stated that treating the pneumonia required a combination of medications and confirmed that the infection had been successfully managed, though full recovery would take time.

Two months of rest

The pope has been prescribed at least two months of convalescence with medical care and rest. While his health is steadily improving, he will ease back into work gradually.

Alfieri described Francis as a cooperative patient, noting that despite two critical episodes requiring non-invasive ventilation, he was never intubated and remained alert.

He noted that temporary voice loss is a normal post-pneumonia symptom and clarified that the pope does not have diabetes. With rehabilitation, he is expected to gradually resume normal activities.

Throughout his hospitalization, Pope Francis remained engaged with church and world affairs and is eager to be discharged, as doctors believe home recovery is the best option.

On Saturday, the Vatican stated that the 88-year-old pontiff wishes to appear at the window of his room in Rome’s Gemelli hospital after the midday prayers on Sunday, where he wishes to offer both a greeting and a blessing, as his health stabilizes and continues to improve.
