Cardinal Turkson marks World Health Day with call to rethink healthcare
The prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development said that it is necessary to “rethink the concept of health as integral health.” “Acquiring this integral view allows us to understand that ensuring that everyone receives the necessary healthcare is an act of justice, that is, giving the person what is in his/her right,” he said. “Those who care for the ill and suffering must have this overview, continually inspired by a holistic vision of care: a unanimous effort of health and pastoral workers for the integral health of their patients.” The cardinal highlighted a document published by his Vatican dicastery earlier this year on mental health in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. “The impact of the pandemic has been harshest on the most vulnerable communities, who are most exposed to the disease, with less chances of having access to quality healthcare services.” World Health Day was first established by the World Health Organization in 1948 and is celebrated annually by the WHO on April 7.
