Admitted in mid-February with pneumonia, the Pope is currently reliant on non-invasive ventilation and high-flow oxygen therapy, treatments often seen as precursors to intensive care. Doctors expect a full recovery from pneumonia but note that his chronic conditions could impact long-term health.

The Vatican has not confirmed his post-recovery schedule, though observers expect a slower pace with fewer engagements. Francis has been out of the public eye since early February and will mark the 12th anniversary of his election on March 13 from the hospital.
