'To heal and comfort the sick'
The inscription from 1784,"Saluti et solatio aegrorum" ("To heal and comfort the sick"), which decorates the archway at the entrance to the old Vienna General Hospital at Alserstrasse 4, is now also inscribed at the entrance of the new Vienna General Hospital at Währinger Gürtel 18-20, expressing devotion to the suffering.
