Pope Francis donates a third ambulance to a hospital in Ukraine
Pope francesco donates a third ambulance to a hospital in Ukraine. He will still be the cardinal Konrad KrajewskiAlmoner of the Pope, to deliver it.
The Almoner, for the eighth time, will travel three thousand kilometers to go north of the Black Sea to the Zboriv district of the Ternopil region, to deliver an ambulance equipped as a mobile resuscitation center to the Central Hospital. Krajewski will also bring a large quantity of essential and life-saving drugs from the Vatican Pharmacy and the Pharmacy of the “Agostino Gemelli” Polyclinic. In the Ternopil region, due to the continuation of the war, numerous convoys arrive every day carrying civilians and soldiers forced to flee from the border area with Russia, where hostilities are the bloodiest. This ambulance will also be a tool to support the rescuers of injured people. During this new mission, the Almoner, on behalf of Pope Francis, will also inaugurate the “St. John Paul II” Rehabilitation Center, built in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kamyanets-Podilskyy, for the integral, physical and psychological rehabilitation of those who have suffered war trauma. The Center, like other similar ones, wanted by Pope Francis, was created with the contribution of some pontifical foundations such as Church in Need and Papal Foundation. “These centers, as Pope Francis teaches, are open to ‘everyone’ – underlines the Almoner -, without any distinction of faith, nationality and without any exclusion. The treatments are offered not only to all those who have suffered wounds in battle , but also to their loved ones, wives and children, to support Ukrainian families in this dramatic time.” “These concrete gestures of compassion aim to open the way to mercy to reach the grace of forgiveness”, concludes the Vatican note.
