During their stay, the team will work alongside local healthcare professionals in various specialties, including gynecology, obstetrics, family medicine, cardiology, internal medicine, geriatrics, sleep medicine, and otolaryngology. In addition to their medical services, the mission has brought a supply of medications for patients in need, aiming to strengthen the hospital’s capacity to deliver high-quality care.

At the welcoming ceremony, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Adriana Mira highlighted the significance of this partnership, emphasizing the shared commitment to improving health and well-being through international collaboration. “This effort demonstrates the power of international cooperation, showcasing our shared vision for joint progress,” she stated.

Vice Minister of Health Management and Development Carlos Alvarenga also acknowledged the initiative’s impact, noting that the Zacamil hospital serves approximately 1.5 million people from the northern and central regions of the country, who will benefit directly from this collaboration.
