Christianity presents a new vision of man (personalistic anthropology) and refers to the example and words of Jesus, highlighting the inseparable relationship between the love of God and the love of man. The article describes the assistance and care of the sick in the East and West in the early Christian centuries; the 'places of care'- nosokomia for the sicks, gerontokomia for the olders, brephotropia for abandoned children, orphanage structures; the managers of hospitals, ecclesistical dignitaries, lay personnel, monks, operators and employees. Christianity gave dignity to the sick and opportunity to serve humanity to the healthy.
基督教提出了一种关于人的新愿景（人格主义人类学），并提及耶稣的榜样和言论，强调上帝之爱与人类之爱之间不可分割的关系。本文描述了早期基督教世纪东西方对病人的援助和护理；“护理场所”——为病人设立的医院、为老年人设立的养老院、为弃婴设立的育婴院、孤儿院机构；医院的管理者、教会要人、非神职人员、僧侣、经营者和雇员。基督教赋予了病人尊严，并给予健康人服务人类的机会。
