Pope Francis returns to Vatican after hospital stay

March 24, 2025

Pope Francis returned to the Vatican on March 23 after surviving a five-week battle in hospital against double pneumonia that became the most serious health crisis of his 12-year papacy.

VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis returned to the Vatican on March 23 after surviving a five-week battle in hospital against double pneumonia that became the most serious health crisis of his 12-year papacy.

The 88-year-old Pope, who also made his first public appearance since Feb 14 before being discharged from Rome's Gemelli hospital, left the facility shortly after noon.

A car carrying the pontiff was accompanied by police vehicles through Rome, making a short detour at the Basilica of St Mary Major, where Pope Francis has a special devotion and visits frequently.

Though the Pope has returned from hospital, his doctors have said it would still take "a lot of time" for his ageing body to heal fully.
