    In our clinics we provide basic medical care: consultations (pediatrics, therapy, gynecology), issue medicines, conduct outpatient surgeries (under local anesthesia), and obstetric manipulations (management of pregnancy and childbirth), conduct educational programs on malnutrition, contraception, type 1 diabetes and pregnancy management, we also conduct preventive and educational lectures on hygiene and the basics of proper nutrition.

    🌽In Guatemala the clinic is located in the mountains of Totonikapan region (Momostenango, the village of Chuinajtajuyub), providing medical help to over 20,000 people mostly of Mayan decent.

    🌴In Nicaragua the clinic is located in the village La Salvia in one of the most remote areas of Nicaragua. Approximately 5,000 people live in this place.
