Where we are

For those of you following a CAMTA mission for the first time, here is a little information about the city and hospital we will be working in for the next two weeks! We are based in Quito, which is the capital city of Ecuador and has a population of 1.6 million people. Hospital Un Canto a la Vida is located about 30 minutes outside of the city centre, and serves populations in the southern part of the city and beyond. This particular hospital has a strong history of community engagement and social responsibility, and the CAMTA group is one of five International Medical Brigades they host every year to provide invaluable medical and surgical services to patients and communities that need them most.
