Suffered a heart attack in Rome in 1983, while visiting Pope John Paul II. Second attack in 1989 and got an artificial pacemaker. In 1991, after a battle with pneumonia while in Mexico, suffered further heart problems. In 1996, fell and broke my collar bone. In August suffered from malaria and failure of left heart ventricle. I had heart surgery but my health was declining. On 13 March 1997, I stepped down from head of the Missionaries of Charity and died on 5th September 1997.
