World Day of the Sick

Every year on the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes on February 11th, we celebrate World Day of the Sick. Observation of the day was started by Pope John Paul II as a way for believers to offer prayers for those who are sick.

People around the world take the time to pray for the sick and for those who work very hard to alleviate the sufferings of the sick on this day. Our hospital every year takes part to commemorate this day, especially to provide the sick with medicines, food, and spiritual guidance.
