Mission 2025
The CAMTA team was very happy to return to Quito for Mission 2025, after having to cancel Mission 2024 due to unrest in Ecuador. The team completed its 21st successful mission.
This year 99 volunteers from across Canada changed the lives of 35 adult patients and 21 children with desperately needed orthopedic surgeries. Eight of those adults had bilateral hip replacements, while several of the children also had more than one surgery.
Over the years, we have changed the lives of 1,358 Ecuadorians through orthopedic surgery. Adults previously too crippled to work, have been given new hip joints allowing them to live pain-free. Children who may have walked with difficulty, or not at all, have had club feet and other leg and foot abnormalities corrected so they can grow, play and move more easily.
