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.

The catalog, designed by artist Angelito Peñaranda, invites companies to give meaningful gifts that support the health of children awaiting medical care in Chile.

The work of volunteer doctors is at the heart of Corporación MATER, because it allows us to fulfill our purpose of providing timely, quality healthcare, shortening the wait times for hundreds of children throughout Chile, as well as demonstrating the impact that collaboration can achieve.

Recently, Dr. José Manuel Escala participated as an international speaker at the 20th Ecuadorian Congress of Pediatric Surgery, held in the city of Cuenca, where he shared the experience and care model of the MATER Corporation.
