We reduced the wait for surgery for more than 700 children throughout Chile.

We worked hard throughout 2025 to reduce waiting times for children throughout Chile, providing them with adequate, high-quality healthcare.

During 2025, we carried out 29 operations in 11 regions of Chile, allowing us to treat more than 700 children, performing 708 surgeries and providing more than 1,000 consultations at our Diagnostic Center.

We are grateful to the health services, companies, medical team volunteers, and the thousands of people who generously collaborate to care for children's health, and we renew our commitment to continue this work that changes the lives of children and their families in different cities across the country.
