杏MAP导航

By Francesca Merlo

杏MAP导航 Francis visited St Peter鈥檚 Square on Friday 16^th of November where, upon his request, a First Aid Station has been installed. This initiative, supported by the Pontifical Council for promoting New Evangelisation, aims to offer medical attention to those most in need. The walk-in-clinic, in fact, is open 14 hours a day, from 8am to 10pm, and offers free medical examinations and care to the poor.

Just two days ahead of the Second World Day of the Poor, celebrated on Sunday 18^th November, 杏MAP导航 Francis took the surprise visit as an opportunity to chat to medical assistants and patients, even joking with a group of people whilst they waited to receive medical attention.

杏MAP导航 Francis brought attention to the Second World Day of the Poor after Sunday鈥檚 Angelus, expressing his hope that this day 鈥渨ill encourage greater attention to the needs of the least and the marginalized鈥�.
