Vatican vs covid-19: Brazilian doctor is honored in video of Pope Francis

In video, Pope Francis points out: “a good health service, accessible to all, is a priority”

The official Vatican YouTube channel, Vatican News, published this Tuesday, 5, an emotional video of Pope Francis making two requests to spectators. The first, that the faithful around the world pray for health professionals; the second, that government officials look more carefully at the health system of their populations.

“The pandemic showed us the dedication, generosity of health professionals, volunteers, health workers, priests, men and women religious”narrated the bishop of Rome, who continued: “But this pandemic has also made it clear that not everyone has access to a good public health system”.

Commenting on and showing images of the precariousness of the health system in poor communities, the Holy Father prayed: “Let us pray that the commitment of health professionals to care for the sick and elderly, especially in the poorest countries, is supported by governments and local communities.”
