- Story Text: Pope Francis left Gemelli hospital on Sunday (March 23) after making his first public appearance in more than five weeks.
Francis, 88, went to hospital on February 14 with a severe respiratory infection that became the most serious health crisis of his 12-year papacy.
The pope's doctors said on Saturday it would still take "a lot of time" for his aging body to fully heal, and said they had prescribed the pontiff a further two months of rest at the Vatican.
Francis appeared on a balcony at the hospital shortly after noon on Sunday. Using a wheelchair, as he has for several years, the pope smiled and waved at a group of well-wishers gathered outside below.
