We participated in the VI Congress of the Chilean Society of Urogynecology and Pelvic Floor!

On Thursday July 27, Friday July 28 and Saturday July 29, part of our health team attended the VI Congress of the Chilean Society of Urogynecology and Pelvic Floor with the aim of acquiring new tools to continue providing the best care to all our users.

The event held in the city of Viña del Mar, was made up of various activities, both prior to the congress and at the congress itself, where our kinesiologists Belén Sánchez and Macarena Sola, and our nurse and assistant director of health Constanza Olivares, participated in these instances, including the workshop "Chronic Constipation: Self-regulation techniques", where new tools were provided, such as manual therapy, in order to incorporate it in the management of patients with bladder and bowel dysfunctions who are referred to our Corporation.

In addition, one of our Urodynamic Physicians, Dr. Carlos Finsterbusch, participated as a speaker at the Congress with the topic "Transition in pediatric patients with urological pathologies to adult services", making an incredible presentation in front of all the attendees.

Anesthesiologist Virginia Montecinos has just completed ten operations as a volunteer at Corporación Mater. This number speaks to her perseverance, but above all, her conviction. We spoke with her to find out what motivated her to join, what she has learned along the way, and why, in her opinion, volunteering not only transforms the lives of children and their families, but also those who participate in it.

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

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

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.

As is now tradition, during the month of December we celebrate Christmas with the children and families who are staying at our shelter, sharing with the children at the Exequiel González Cortés Hospital.
