We participated in a municipal council in the municipality of San Miguel.

During the month of July, together with José Manuel Escala, president and founder, and Carolina Castro, general manager; we participated in a municipal council of the commune of San Miguel, commune where our MATER Corporation is located.

During the day, we talked about our history and what we do, to see how to start working together and continue to support the health of children in the commune and throughout the country in the prevention of kidney disease.

We thank the Municipality of San Miguel for this opportunity. Let's go for more!
