At the begining of this new year we proudly can share the following achieves:
- In 2025, we made 4 Tours Conducted in diferent points of Panama: Colón (Puerto Escondido), Darién (Metetí), Capira (Claras Arriba), and Panama City (Gonzalillo).
- In total were 537 Children Benefited: Providing comprehensive hearing healthcare to minors aged 0 to 17.
In Clinical Follow-up we had:
- Diagnostic Phase: We successfully transported children who required repeat testing to our clinic in Panama City to rule out conditions following initial screenings.
- Final Diagnosis: From the four hearing health tours conducted, 12 children were identified as needing hearing aids.
FOV has mobilized local efforts to acquire and deliver these 12 hearing aids to the diagnosed children, with the dedicated support of our Vice President, Dr. Orlando Sousa, and our President, Giovanna Troncoso.
Thanks to your contributions, we are transforming the future of Panamanian children through the gift of hearing!

During 2025, the Oir es Vivir Foundation has successfully conducted three major hearing health tours, extending our work to various communities. We have treated 320 children in Claras Arriba de Capira, Puerto Escondido in Colón and the province of Darién, demonstrating our commitment to hearing health at a national level.
Thanks to the collaboration of our volunteers, otorhinolaryngologists, the support of our donors and private company, we have been able to detect eight children with confirmed hearing loss. With your donations, we have been able to give them hearing aids, transforming their lives. In addition, the identification of cases of cerumen and infections has served to raise awareness among parents about the importance of hearing care in their children, reaffirming the impact of our mission.

Estamos entusiasmados de haber realizado dos giras de salud auditiva este año, sirviendo a 197 niños entre las edades de 0 y 17 años. Las comunidades de Puerto Escondido, ubicada en Colón, y Metetí, en Darién, tuvieron la oportunidad de someterse a pruebas de audición durante una jornada laboral, acompañadas de fonoaudiólogos y otorrinolaringólogos. Tras esta primera fase, los niños que no superaron fueron derivados a una segunda fase para repetir las pruebas y confirmar o descartar nuestras sospechas. Finalmente, durante la Gira de Salud realizada en Colón, identificamos cuatro casos de pérdida auditiva. Estamos obligados a acompañarles durante todo el proceso y proporcionarles los audífonos que necesitan para seguir estudiando. Tenemos que seguir promoviendo y concienciando para que la audición de los niños, especialmente, no se vea afectada con el tiempo.
