Pope Francis has praised the “noble” and “precious” work of nurses and midwives.
During his Angelus address today, Sunday, Jan. 19, 2020, the Holy Father did so, recalling that the World Health Organization designated 2020 as the “Year of the Nurse and Midwife”, in honor of the 200th birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale.
“I am pleased to remember that 2020 has been designated internationally as the ‘Year of the Nurse and Midwife,’” the Pope said.
