Pope Francis is set to be discharged from Rome's Gemelli Hospital after a five-week stay for double pneumonia, showing signs of stability following complications from bronchitis. Despite periods of critical condition requiring high-flow oxygen therapy, his medical team is optimistic about his recovery, implementing a "protected discharge" plan with ongoing medication and a recommended two-month rest period. Upon returning to the Vatican, the pope will focus on rest and rehabilitation, with adjustments to his schedule and duties yet to be detailed, as he continues to face ongoing health challenges.
