Pope says medicine is not for profit

(ANSA) - Vatican City - Pope Francis said Thursday that medicine should not be practised for profit but must instead focus on providing care for the sick, elderly, and dying.
    Efficiency is less important than compassion, said Francis during a meeting on care for the elderly and palliative care. The pope said this work is of great value, even though it is not focused on saving lives but instead honouring life, and should be attractive to students and professionals in the field.
