Pope Francis’ prayer video is promoted by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, which raises awareness of monthly papal prayer intentions.
The video for April 2022 includes images of healthcare workers providing different kinds of medical care to people all around the world, in hospitals, ambulances, at the border, in tent camps, and in remote villages.
The coronavirus pandemic “has also exposed the fact that not everyone has access to a good public healthcare system,” the pope said. “The poorest countries, the most vulnerable countries, cannot access the necessary treatments to treat the countless diseases they continue to suffer.”
Francis said the lack of access to adequate medical care is often due to poor management of resources and a lack of serious commitment on the part of governments.
“I want to ask the governments of all the countries of the world not to forget that good healthcare, accessible to all, is a priority,” he stated.
