Registrations are now open for the 2nd National Meeting of Catholic Hospitals, promoted by the Special Commission on Bioethics of the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil (CNBB), with the support of the National Commission of the Family Pastoral, the Brazilian Association of Catholic Physicians, the Associação Lar de São Francisco de Assis da Providência de Deus, and the Santa Marcelina Hospital.
The purpose of the event is to discuss the main bioethical challenges in light of the Encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, to reflect on the mission, identity, and vocation of Catholic hospital institutions in the current reality, and to encourage the creation of bioethics committees in Catholic hospitals as spaces for dialogue and ethical discernment in the promotion and defense of human dignity.
The meeting is aimed at managers and sponsoring entities of Catholic hospitals, as well as representatives of other hospital institutions. The auxiliary bishop of Curitiba (PR) and president of the CNBB Special Commission on Bioethics, Bishop Reginei José Modolo, also invites bishops, priests, and religious brothers and sisters who share responsibility for the management of Catholic hospitals across the country to attend the event.
"Together we can propose paths so that the promotion and defense of life become effective and reach a greater number of professionals and institutions," said Bishop Reginei.
About the meeting
The program will feature sharing and testimonies from hospitals from various parts of the country, along with lectures and group discussions. Charism and spirituality, bioethics in the relationship between people and hospitals, palliative care, hospital bioethics committees, care for riverside communities, and caring for those who care are some of the proposed themes.
