our GLOBAL WORKS

hospital los angeles paraguay-china

The Fundacion Para La Salud Los Angeles Paraguay-China, established in 2003, is crucial to meet the health and medical needs of an underserved population with scarce economic resources by providing free, quality essential health care to all, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, and beliefs.

The hospital has served over 700,000 patients seeking obstetrics-gynecologic care, procedures such as mammograms or medical imaging (radiology), and pediatric care. Its work has decreased the region’s rate of child mortality and improved maternal health.

Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all, at all ages, is important to building prosperous societies. The Hospital acts against inequalities in health care access, as well as continues to secure maternal-fetal and children’s health.
