Pope Francis: Large pharmaceutical companies are listened to more than healthcare workers

Vatican City, Sep 23 (EFE), (Camera: Álvaro Padilla).- Pope Francis criticized Wednesday that countries are listening to pharmaceutical companies instead of health workers, who are those who work "on the front lines in hospitals or refugee camps".FOOTAGE AND SOUNDBITES OF POPE FRANCIS DURING THE WEEKLE AUDIENCE AT THE VATICAN:"To get better out of a crisis like the current one, which is a health crisis and at the same time, a social, political and economic one, each one of us is called to assume his part of responsibility.""Big financial companies are listened to more than those who drive the real economy. Multinational companies are listened to more than social movements. This means the powerful are listened to more than the weak. Let's think also in the way of curing the virus. The large pharmaceutical companies are listened to more than the healthcare workers employed on the front lines in hospitals or refugee camps. This is not a good path.”
