Pope Francis was discharged from Rome's Gemelli hospital on Saturday after being treated for bronchitis. He appeared frail but in good spirits as he left the hospital, stopping to interact with well-wishers, sign a cast for a child, and even humorously commenting on his health. Despite his condition, he plans to participate in the Palm Sunday Mass, indicating his intention to resume his papal duties. His recovery will continue at the Vatican, where he has been advised to take it easy. The Pope, who has faced several health issues in the past, including having part of one lung removed in his youth, was hospitalized after experiencing breathing difficulties. His brief hospital stay and the public's reaction highlight his ongoing health concerns and the global attention on his well-being.
