Nuns applaud return of Mother Teresa
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Mother Teresa left a Calcutta hospital yesterday almost a month after suffering a heart attack. Assistants supported the 86-year-old Nobel laureate as she made her way to the car that drove her home to her Missionaries of Charity centre.
Nuns clapped at her return and held a special prayer meeting for their still-ailing leader. A doctor who visited later said Mother Teresa was "coping well". Her recovery from a heart attack on 22 November had been slowed by poorly functioning kidneys, a bout of pneumonia and an irregular heartbeat.
Arrangements were made to provide oxygen, a special chair and chest massage. Mother Teresa has been adamant about returning to work. AP - Calcutta
