The Cinterandes Foundation is based in Cuenca, Ecuador, is a non-profit organization dedicated to improve health care delivery to remote and underserved areas in Ecuador by means of innovative technology. In 1994 the concept of mobile surgery was introduced, in a truck equipped with an operating room we have visited 18 of the 24 provinces of Ecuador, crossing the Andes Mountains, the Pacific Coast and the Amazon; caring for people who otherwise would not have access to surgical services. The volunteer medical staff composed of a team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, resident and medical students, nurses and technicians provide their expertise and hard work traveling around the country to help communities in need. On this 25 years, we have performed over 8,000 surgical procedures to solve the most common surgical problems, with excellent results, comparable to those of the best health centers in the world. Our goal is that all people (regardless of their social, economic status or where they live and remote the place may be) can have access to health services, our work is mainly focused on the area of general surgery, being all the surgeries we perform, basic to improve people's quality of life.
