By donating to this project, you contribute to the purchase of medical equipment, hospital furniture and the improvement of the physical infrastructure of the Children's Hospital of San Vicente Foundation. Thus, every year, 60,000 children in Colombia, with serious illnesses, will continue to receive the best specialized medical care.

Challenge

In Medellin, Colombia, different hospitals have closed 140 hospital beds for children in the last 5 years. This limits the possibility of children to receive medical attention, especially in cases of serious illnesses. Our Children's Hospital, took on this problem, committing to keep beds open for the 60,000 children we serve every year. To do this, we need to update our medical equipment and improve the physical infrastructure that welcomes the children and their families.

Long-Term Impact

The project will make it possible to maintain 222 hospitalization beds and 81 special and intensive care beds, to offer a new opportunity for health and life to 60,000 children each year.
