Accord
lets children's hospital use Vatican heli facilities
(Vatican
Radio) The Governatorate of the Vatican City State and Rome’sBambino Gesù
children’s hospital announced an accord on Friday to allow the
hospital to use the heliport located in the Vatican Gardens to transport
patients, personnel and medical equipment in urgent cases. The agreement
is preparatory to the insertion of the Vatican heliport within the Regional
network for emergency management. Informed of the initiative, Pope Francis
expressed his joy and expressed his approval of the agreement, which will be of
great help to the children.
A
communiqué regarding the development quotes the President of Bambino Gesù,
Mariella Enoc, as saying, “We are grateful to the Holy See, the Secretary of
State and the Governatorate in particular, in the person of the SCV’s Secretary
General, Bishop Fernando Vergez Alzaga, for this opportunity, which
is given to the Bambino Gesù hospital, and especially to the many young
patients from all over Italy, who unfortunately need urgently to reach our
hospital.”
Enoc
goes on to say, “It is an important gesture of charity that responds to a basic
health need: the physical proximity between the Vatican City State and our seat
on the Janiculum Hill, in fact, will significantly shorten transport times,
contributing in many cases to saving the lives of children.” Enoc also
offered personal thanks the head of the Vatican Gendarmerie, Commandant
Domenico Giani, who, she said, “worked so hard in a spirit of cooperation to
achieve this result.”
