Archbishop Desmond Tutu leaves South African hospital

The Tutu Foundation, named after Mr Tutu and his wife Leah, said the 83-year-old was released on Friday morning after nearly three weeks in the Cape Town hospital.

His daughter Mpho Tutu had said he was being treated for an inflammation.

Archbishop Tutu has been in and out of hospital for the past six weeks to receive intensive antibiotic treatment for a stubborn infection and related complications.

Revd Canon Tutu added that the love, prayers and good wishes expressed by people around the world had been just as important as the medical attention in aiding the Arch's recovery.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
