A Visit From the Canadian Embassy

Today the Canadian Ambassador to Ecuador Marianick Tremblay and Political Officer Gabriel Frappier visited CAMTA to learn how our missions operate! They toured the facility from the operating room to the ward and were able to meet team members and patients. 

Marianick and Gabriel discuss how the CAMTA missions began with Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Marc Moreau, Administrator Barb Moreau, and Logistician Matthew Moreau.
