Summary

The San Vicente Fundacion Childrens Hospital, provides underprivileged children with urgent, specialised care regardless of their families ability to pay. 80% of the children we treat come from low-income families. They arrive requiring care for life threatening burns, cancer, transplants, and in critical condition in the ICU. We support people coming from across the region of Antioquia. Your donation today keeps lifesaving equipment running and gives every child a chance to survive.

Challenge

Colombia's pediatric healthcare is in crisis. In Medellin alone, over 900 pediatric beds have been lost in recent years, leaving thousands of critically ill children without treatment. For families living in poverty, the cost of surgery, cancer therapy, or ICU care is unaffordable. Without your immediate help, many of these children will not survive.

Solution

We provide the most advanced pediatric care in the region (Antioquia), including the only dedicated pediatric burn unit, a leading transplant program, oncology care, neonatal units, and ICU services for emergencies. Our hospital classroom also supports children's mental health and education. With your support, every child, from any background has access to the treatment they need to survive.

Long-Term Impact

Each year, our hospital provides care to over 20,900 children. Your monthly gift ensures that no child is turned away because of cost. Together, we can break the cycle of poverty and illness, giving children a chance to grow up healthy, stay in school, and reach their full potential. Be the reason a child survives with your donation keeping lifesaving care running every day.
