Restoration to health after illness (8)

I believe the answer is:

recovery

(Other definitions for recovery that I've seen before include "Recuperation after illness" , "Convalescence" , "Salvage" , "A return to original state, health say" , "Retrieval or recuperation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
