VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis will be discharged from hospital on Sunday and will need two months of rest at the Vatican, one of the doctors treating him said on Saturday.

Francis, 88, was admitted to the hospital on February 14 with a severe respiratory infection that has required evolving treatment.
