Yes, monks and nuns historically played a significant role in caring for the sick. Many monastic communities established hospitals and infirmaries as part of their religious mission, providing medical care and support to the ill and needy. Their commitment to compassion and service was rooted in their spiritual beliefs, often viewing the care of the sick as a form of serving God. This tradition contributed to the development of early healthcare systems in various cultures.
