What is Michael Schumacher’s current health status?

In December 2013 Michael Schumacher fell while skiing in France and hit his head on a rock. Despite wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, he sustained a significant brain injury and was placed in a medically induced coma. In 2014 doctors gradually withdrew Schumacher from the coma. In June he was transferred to a hospital in Switzerland for rehabilitation, and later that year he returned home to continue his rehabilitation. Since then, Schumacher’s wife, Corinna, has overseen his care, and the family has kept his health status strictly private.
