Statement from Dr. Azad Moopen, Founder Chairman, Aster DM Healthcare on Pope Francis’s demise

(MENAFN- Aster DM Healthcare) We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. A compassionate and visionary leader, his legacy of humility, unity and unwavering commitment to peace has left a profound impact across the world. In the UAE, a nation that champions tolerance and interfaith harmony, his historic visit in 2019 marked a defining moment, strengthening the values of coexistence and mutual respect that we hold dear. Pope Francis’ openness to dialogue, advocacy for the vulnerable, and efforts to bridge divides made him not only a beloved spiritual leader but also a global symbol of hope, compassion, and change. His legacy will continue to inspire communities worldwide."
