Pope takes medicine to children's hospital in Bangui

(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis on Sunday made a brief, unscheduled stop at a children's hospital in Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic.

The Pope met with some of the young patients and staff, taking with him several boxes of medicines for the children there, provided by Rome’s “Bambino Gesu” pediatric hospital.

Pope Francis is scheduled to conclude his pastoral visit to Africa on Monday with a visit to the mosque in Bangui, followed by a Mass marking the feast of St Andrew in the city’s sports stadium. He is due to arrive back in Rome shortly before seven o’clock on Monday evening.
