Medical equipment and healthcare resources distributed in Dominican Republic and Ecuador

In the Dominican Republic, community leader Kelvin García has provided a shipment of orthopedic equipment and medical assistance to vulnerable families in Barahona. The supplies include wheelchairs, walkers, and specialized orthopedic cranes designed to improve mobility and autonomy for elderly individuals and those with motor disabilities.

In Ecuador, the government of President Daniel Noboa has invested USD 539,000 to equip the Homero Castanier Crespo Hospital in Azogues. The new technology includes two laparoscopy towers for minimally invasive surgeries—such as gallbladder and appendix removals—and two anesthesia machines with integrated ventilation and monitoring systems. This upgrade is intended to improve surgical care for over 230,000 residents in the Cañar province and surrounding regions.
