De precizat ca Ordinul Ospitalierilor exista si astazi. Oricand veti auzi despre "maltezi" sa stiti ca este vorba despre acest Ordin, care in contemporaneitate a revenit la misiunea initiala, aceea umanitara.
Citez din wikipedia:
Today the order has about 13,000 members; 80,000 permanent volunteers; and 20,000 medical personnel including doctors, nurses, auxiliaries and paramedics. The goal is to assist the elderly, handicapped, refugeed, children, homeless, those with terminal illness and leprosy in five continents of the world, without distinction of race or religion.[9] In several countries—including France, Germany and Ireland—the local associations of the Order are important providers of first aid training, first aid services and emergency medical services. Through its worldwide relief corps—Malteser International—the Order is also engaged to aid victims of natural disasters, epidemics and armed conflicts.
Totusi, aproape un mileniu de traditie militara nu poate fi sters cu buretele, asa ca Ordinul opereaza si astazi un numar de spitale militare, trenuri spital si avioane.
