A SPA BUSINESS PUBLICATION
GWI collaborates with the Vatican The Global Wellness Institute (GWI), has joined a working group within the Vatican's COVID-19 Commission. A new body established in early April by Pope Francis. The group was formed with the aim of confronting the current crisis and working to 'visualise the world we need to build post-COVID-19'. The Commission, led by Cardinal Peter Turkson, is run by the Vatican's Dicastery [department] for Promoting Integral Human Development and divided into five working groups, each addressing a different aspect of the pandemic. The GWI has joined working group ■■The GWI will produce eight white papers
