VOICED : La lucha contra el virus de sor Angel, religiosa y medica en Italia

Surángel Bipendú, a nun and doctor, combines science and faith to care for COVID-19 patients in Bérgamo, Italy. With experience from the Ebola outbreak in Congo, she is unafraid of infection. Educated in Palermo, she chose medicine to expand her role beyond being a nun. During the pandemic, she left her convent to join a healthcare unit, visiting patients at home. Her unique approach as a nun-doctor surprises patients but helps build trust. She provides not only medical care but also emotional support, especially to isolated elderly patients.
