A Catholic Priest at Mangango Mission Hospital has called for increased compassionate care for the sick and vulnerable as the institution commemorates the 34th World Day of the Sick.

Rev. Fr. Stewart Mwansa OFM.Cap made the call during a solemn Mass attended by staff, patients and visitors.

“We can make a difference by offering our presence, comfort and love,” said Fr. Mwansa.

He also encouraged continued prayers for the sick, their families and healthcare workers.

And Hospital Administrator Sr. Dai Moyo thanked participants and reaffirmed the hospital’s mission of saving lives through service.

She said everyone is called to provide preventive and curative care to the sick within and outside the hospital’s catchment area in the spirit of Christian charity in Mongu Diocese.

“We are all called to provide preventive and curative care to all the sick,” she said.

On behalf of the Managing Agents, the Daughters of the Redeemer, Sr. Moyo expressed appreciation to the staff for their dedication to patient care.

“Your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed,” she added.

The commemoration later included the blessing of the sick in the wards, where the staff reaffirmed their commitment to caring for the sick and patients expressed gratitude for the support they received.
