The Pope today lamented the inequalities that exist in access to healthcare, especially in the poorest countries where “receive adequate treatment it is still a luxury “, and gave as an example” the lack of availability of vaccines “against Covid-19, in a message on M-Day undial of the Sick.
“I think above all of the inhabitants of the poorest areas of the planet, where sometimes you have to travel long distances to find health care centers that, Despite having limited resources, they offer everything they have at their disposal, “said Francisco.
In his speech, the pontiff thanked the work of the local churches, but insisted that “there is still a long way to go to guarantee all sick people, especially in places and in situations of greatest poverty and exclusion, the health care they need, as well as pastoral accompaniment.”
On the occasion of World Sick Day, the Pope reminded all those sick that, “during this time of pandemic, they have lived in the solitude of u an intensive care unit the last stage of his existence “without counting on his loved ones.
For this reason, he asked all health workers to take into account that “the patient is always more important than his illness and that is why each therapeutic approach cannot do without listening to the patient, his story, his anguish and his fears.”
Along these lines, Francisco stressed that “even when it is not possible to cure, it is always possible to care, comfort and make people feel a closeness that shows interest in the person rather than in their pathology.”

In South Africa also ” Fortunately, hospitalization and death rates from COVID-19 have been very low, “although also in this case, as in the previous one,” the data cannot be fully extrapolated, because each country is unique, “said the expert.
According to WHO figures, South Africa reached its last peak of cases in mid-December, after doubling the number of reported cases for several days, but since then those figures have fallen at the same rate as they climbed.
Mahamud indicated that so far the omicron variant has been detected in 128 countries of the planet, “although surely in the rest it would also have been reported if they had the technical capacity”.
The current wave is still characterized by a hopeful disconnection between cases (which increase exponentially in many territories) and deaths, which remain stable, he stressed.
“The main message is that if you are vaccinated you are protected,” added the epidemiologist, noting that vaccines continue to be effective in preventing hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19.
Mahamud added that different scientific studies are indicating that the omicron variant tends to infect only the upper part of the cue rpo, “unlike others that could affect the lungs and cause severe pneumonia.”
“Are good news, but more studies are required to confirm it “, stressed the expert.
