Pope Leo XIV paid a quiet visit to a new outpatient clinic that has been built beneath the colonnade of St Peter’s Square.

On 14 November, coinciding with the World Day of the Poor, the Pope visited the new San Martino Outpatient Clinic. Established by the Office of the Papal Almoner in collaboration with the Health and Hygiene Directorate of the Governorate of Vatican City State, the new clinic has been equipped to expand the range of medical care available to people living on the margins in Rome.
