Surgical Area Modernization Project 2025-2026

We are delighted to announce that we have begun renovating the Sanatorium's eight operating rooms with state-of-the-art equipment from brands such as Dragger, Storz, and Diamond, among others.

We have acquired:

• 8 Dräger Perseus Anesthesia Machines

• 7 Complete Storz 4k Laparoscopy Towers

• 5 ValleyLabs FX8 and FT10 Electrosurgical Units

• 5 Diamond 60 BLK+ Surgical Tables

• 6 Dräger Polaris Pro+ Surgical Lights

• Accessory kits of all kinds

100% of the funds for this purchase were contributed by generous patients and their families, who understand that the Sanatorium can only continue to grow thanks to the support of donors and benefactors who believe in Mater Dei's mission.

We're almost there! We still need to raise the funds to purchase a microscope and some smaller equipment to finalize the campaign we launched at the dinner last September.

In 2026, we will undertake the Surgical Area Modernization Project at Sanatorio Mater Dei, aimed at strengthening the efficiency, safety, and quality of surgical procedures.

The efficiency and effectiveness of surgical interventions have a direct impact on patients’ recovery times, the length of hospital stays, and healthcare-related costs. In this context, the incorporation of state-of-the-art medical technology is a key factor in optimizing both clinical and operational outcomes.

Over the past ten years, the Sanatorium has experienced sustained growth in its surgical activity, highlighting the need to adapt and upgrade the existing infrastructure and available equipment.

In order to support this growth and continue the innovation process, a total investment of US$ 3,800,000 is planned for the comprehensive modernization of the operating rooms. This investment includes the acquisition and upgrading of strategic equipment such as laparoscopic towers, anesthesia workstations, surgical lights, operating tables, a Pentero microscope, multiparameter monitors, and a C-arm, as well as the necessary infrastructure works to ensure proper implementation.

This project will enable Sanatorio Mater Dei to consolidate its position as a national reference center for surgical care, ensuring cutting-edge technological standards (“state of the art”), enhanced patient safety, and improved working conditions for medical teams.

Celebrating 50 Years in the Service of Life

We want to continue working day by day to prepare Sanatorio Mater Dei for the next 50 years.

Once again, we thank the entire community for the support that accompanies us in our mission.

THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF OUR FAMILY!
