There's no doubt that Albert Schweitzer accomplished a great deal of good in his long life. He's been called a theologian, philosopher, and physician. Dr. Schweitzer is closely associated with his missionary work in Africa. The body of work led to him receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952.
I could not find any sign of a connection to Monaco. Yet, this monument pays tribute to his work. I guess any sort of salute to someone labeled "the greatest Christian of his time" is welcome.
By the way, Schweitzer is buried in Gabon, where he had set up a hospital.
