GENEVA, MARCH 14, 2008 (Zenit.org).- The Holy See urged the United Nations to recognize the key role that faith-based organizations play in health care, and protect these groups’ right to share in resources.

Referring to the Report of the Special Rapporteur on the Right of Everyone to the Enjoyment of the Highest Attainable Standard of Physical and Mental Health, Archbishop Tomasi affirmed that "the Holy See recognizes, as well, the need to assure access to spiritual assistance among those conditions which guarantee the full enjoyment of the right to health."

Providing care and maintaining the faith of those that provide it needs to be protected for everyones sake.
