Moment Pope Francis greets the crowds on the hospital window from the hospital window

Pope Francis has greeted the crowds of cheers from the window of a hospital in Rome, the first time they saw him in public since he was admitted in February.

The 88 -year -old pontiff will need at least two months of rest in the Vatican, the doctors who treat it said.

During the last five weeks, he presented “two very critical episodes” where his “life was in danger,” said Dr. Sergio Alfieri, one of the doctors who treated the Pope.
