Project Report | Dec 26, 2024
2024 in Review: Discover the Lives You've Impacted_SAN VICENTE HOSPITAL

By Carolina Ospina | Project Leader

In 2024, we cared for the lives of over 20,000 men and women who found in our hospital a place where care is for everyone. With specialized services such as oncology, ICU and IMCU beds, our burn unit, transplants, complex trauma emergencies, and general hospitalization beds, we continue to make a difference in healthcare.

Thanks to our benefactors, we strengthened vital services like surgery by acquiring new biomedical equipment, including electrosurgical units and monitors. Additionally, in partnership with the Medellín Firefighters and our burn unit, we organized a charity race to acquire a thermoforming machine essential for burn patient treatment.

This equipment allows us to create custom devices such as compression masks, splints, and occupational bandages, which help reduce scars, protect affected areas, and facilitate recovery and rehabilitation. These devices are lightweight, comfortable, and hypoallergenic, significantly improving our patients' quality of life.

Your donation is vital. Thanks to your support, we not only enhanced our service capacity but also sustained our Life and Dignity program, which provided over 1,690 food aids to hospital caregivers.

THANK YOU for being part of such a challenging year for the Colombian healthcare system. With your help, we turned it into a year of resilience and progress.

We invite you to continue making a difference. In 2025, help us impact even more lives. Invite a friend or family member to join our Life and Dignity project. Together, we are stronger!
