A:

Mother Teresa did not open hospitals, but opened hospices for the dying, starting in Calcutta in India. The difference is that hospices do not offer cures or treatment, but only palliative care. Even in this regard, Dr. Robin Fox, editor of the British medical journal The Lancet observed that her order did not distinguish between curable and incurable patients, so that people who could otherwise survive would be at risk of dying from infections and lack of treatment. He noted that, contrary to the role of a genuine hospice, the sisters' approach to managing pain was "disturbingly lacking." Mother Teresa's philosophy was, " We are not nurses, we are not doctors, we are not teachers, we are not social workers. We are religious, we are religious, we are religious."
