A:
Publicly, Mother Teresa said that she did her work because someone needed to care for "the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone."
Privately she said, "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." This is in keeping with Mother Teresa's priority in spending the bulk of the donations she received, on religious work rather than the relief of poverty.

At the time Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, she said its purpose would be to care for "the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone." Perhaps not everything went to plan as intended, because those noble objectives were never in practice as the primary objective of the order. Instead, the overwhelming focus in the use of the Missionaries of Charity resources has been for the propagation of the Catholic faith.

Mother Teresa was neither a doctor nor a nurse and had no access to medicines to take to anyone. She provided comfort and care to the dying.AnswerIn the aftermath of the accident in 1990, when two people were killed by the ambulance in which Mother Teresa was travelling, the office of the Missionaries of Charity said she had taken medicines to the hospital run by her order, but did not say whether the medicines were urgent or for which patient they were intended.
