Medical infrastructure and surgical advancements in Chile

Overview

Andes Salud expanded its medical infrastructure in Chile through a 45 million USD investment to open a new clinic in the Maule Region. This facility, located in Talca, includes 94 hospital beds and advanced diagnostic technology, such as an AI-integrated PET-CT system, to serve over 1.2 million residents. The company also introduced robotic knee surgery technology in the Biobío Region.

Following these infrastructure developments, the Dr. Hernán Henríquez Aravena Hospital (HHHA) in Chile successfully performed its first total wrist arthroplasty surgeries. This initiative, supported by specialists from Madrid, Spain, aims to reduce patient waiting lists and train local hand and microsurgery teams in the procedure.
