More than a quarter of health care facilities worldwide are managed by the Catholic Church

According to a CNA report, the Catholic Church "manages 26 percent of health care facilities in the world", including "117,000 health care facilities, including hospitals, clinics, [and] orphanages." The statistics were obtained from a press release from the Pontifical Council for Pastoral Assistance to Health Care Workers on the occasion of the council's 25th anniversary.
