Catholic Bishop Challenges Health Workers to Serve beyond medical diagnosis

KITAGWENDA

The Bishop Fort Portal diocese rt rev. Robert Muhirwa Akiiki, has urged health workers including doctors, nurses, and other caregivers to embrace their service as extending far beyond treating physical ailments. 

Presiding over a mass for the official commissioning of a CT scan for Kicwamba health center in Kitagwenda town council, Bishop Muhirwa emphasized that true healing requires spiritual, emotional, and physical unity, and encouraged health professionals to serve with humility, patience, and compassion.

He also urged patients who seek services from health facilities to respect health workers if they want valuable services.

The prelate further urged the general public to care for the sick and the helpless like a Good Samaritan did to look after a stranger that he did not know and never demanded a pay back.
