To some it's seen as unnecessary to people like the Pope it's just daily life.

As with Monarchs too.
Such as the UKs late Queen, presiding over the major change of Prime Ministers.
Up to the day before she died.

Some may see it as even foolish but they feel it necessary to try to fulfil duties of their office right to the end.
Personally I admire that determination and dedication.

Yes they think their own health is secondary to fulfilling their duties. The Pope has had health problems for years but has still worked incredibly hard including travelling to some of the most dangerous places on earth

He probably knew he was overdoing it the last few days but felt that presiding over Easter was more important. Choosing to spend Thursday meeting loads of prisoners is quite typical of his papacy
