Pope's almoner and doctors bring medical care to migrants

Christian News,World Christian News,Malaysia Church,Religion Christianity

The same day Pope Francis was discharged from Rome's Gemelli hospital after a five-week stay for treatment for double pneumonia, a group of Vatican doctors took their Lenten alms initiative a step further and helped provide medical care to a group of migrants.

"That's why we arrived in two ambulances from the Vatican, and throughout the day we were trying to put alms into action," the pope's charity point man told OSV News. The Vatican health clinic for the needy was opened in St. Peter's Square next to St. Peter's Basilica right before Christmas in 2018 to assist the homeless and those impoverished, furthering Pope Francis' commitment to supporting those in need at the very heart of the Catholic Church.

All doctors volunteering in the clinic are working in Roman hospitals on a daily basis. In February alone, they treated 1,300 people in need of medical care.
