Eleven sisters work in the hospital community, seven of whom work in the various departments of the hospital: doctor, nursing, counseling, dialysis, ultrasound\/X-ray, anesthesia, operating room, pharmacy, and hospital administration. The four older sisters perform various services such as gardening, farm work, and housekeeping. They support the community with their prayers.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, the sisters and their staff cared for people with HIV\/AIDS. Today, the focus is on general medicine, including the treatment of dialysis patients.<\/p>\n<p>The area is economically underdeveloped and there is great poverty. Many of the people living here have only the bare necessities to live on. As a result, they are often unable to pay for treatment and\/or medication. In keeping with the spirit of our founders, Father Theodosius Florentini and Mother Maria Theresia Scherer, the sisters try to help people in need.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A small hospital with 40 beds<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scsc-ingenbohl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scsc-ingenbohl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scsc-ingenbohl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scsc-ingenbohl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scsc-ingenbohl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.scsc-ingenbohl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21686\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scsc-ingenbohl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scsc-ingenbohl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scsc-ingenbohl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
