Ya casi está aquí: la inauguración de la nueva sala de partos del Hospital San Miguel, junto con la posibilidad de realizar cesáreas en nuestro nuevo quirófano. Para celebrar este gran paso para nosotros, el cantón Putumayo y todas las personas que viven cerca de Puerto el Carmen, ofrecemos partos y, en caso de ser necesario, cesáreas ¡totalmente gratis! A partir del lunes y hasta fin de mes. ¡¡Nos vemos pronto!! #quinacare #safemotherhood #hospitalsanmiguel #improveruralhealth

The last details have been completed to make our new operating room ready for use. According to international hygiene standards, Putumayo will have its own surgical facility from this month. In case of emergency, you will not have to travel another four hours to a nearby hospital. This facility will save lives, we have no doubt about that. Many thanks to our constructor Elvis, we are really impressed by his dedication and quality of work to complete this project at a level we could not have imagined. #quinacare #savinglives #putumayo #hospitalsanmiguel #improvingruralhealth #globalsurgery

Esther and Ivar, together with many friends and family, ran or walked the Linschotenloop. They have raised a large amount that they donated to Quina Care and handed over the official cheque here in Hospital San Miguel. Besides this, they both worked completely voluntary for half a year, Esther as a medical doctor, Ivar as a real handyman. In many ways, we at Quina Care are incredibly grateful for this great couple. #quinacare #fundraising #linschoten# #hospitalsanmiguel #putumayo #volunteer

Annelies already had worked in the hospital for three weeks when Matthijs, together with their two daughters, came to Puerto el Carmen to join her. Matthijs installed the complete internet and security network in the fall of 2020 and now it was time to implement updates, improvements and some troubleshooting. An entire family dedicated to the cause of Quina Care, just amazing! #volunteers #improvingruralhealth #quinacare #hospitalsanmiguel #rijssen

Today is World Dengue Day! There are cases of this mosquito-borne disease almost every year here in the Amazon, but this year the numbers are staggering. Preventive measures, early diagnosis and research are more than necessary. San Miguel Hospital is working hard on this. #dengue #hospitalsanmiguel #imprivingheth #science

As an NGO we are very dependent on the support of volunteers in many different areas. In addition to three contracted doctors, we have full-time support from two volunteer doctors who come to work in our hospital for a minimum of six months. As for Lisette van Alewijk, the last volunteer who completed a six-month period, a wonderful and fruitful experience, both for her and for our staff. #volunteers #ecuador #healthcare #quinacare

Marielle and Harry Marsman, a Dutch couple who have been a pillar of support for Quina Cae for years, found the opportunity to visit our hospital and see for themselves what has become reality through their support. Great that you were there! #quinacare #putumayo #ruralhealth #charity #hospitalsanmiguel

Every Monday it is possible to talk to the mayor of Puerto el Carmen when he is attending the citizens. No appointment is necessary, just wait in line until you are next. Yesterday, Jacob and the other members of the health committee met with the mayor to express the need for a new ambulance for Puerto el Carmen. The old ambulance keeps breaking down and is therefore usually unavailable. #quinacare #ambulance #improvingruralhealth #putumayo #hospitalsanmiguel

Today it is International Women’s Day!! A very important day world wide and especially for us in Hospital San Miguel: every day we attend to many vulnerable women and girls with our staff which is also mostly female. There are still so many things to improve: family planning, safe motherhood, domestic violence, etc etc. But we continue working hard for this!! #women #quinacare #hospitalsanmiguel #safemotherhood #putumayo

Andrea Meuleman, the next doctor who will work voluntarily at San Miguel Hospital for 6 months, will run a half marathon at the Leekster Lenteloop on March 16. Her goal in running these 21 km is to raise €3,945, which is enough to cover running costs such as electricity, water and cleaning products for three months. Another, very useful initiative to finance our running costs. You can support Andrea via the link in our bio. Let's go!! #running #quinacare #hospitalsanmiguel #volunteer #putumayo

The clinical laboratory of Hospital San Miguel is

The clinical laboratory of Hospital San Miguel is the proud owner of a fluorescent microscope! Thomas Hanscheid, a physician and professor of microbiology at the Microbiology Institute of the University of Lisbon, recently visited our hospital and saw the need for fluorescent microscopy to improve diagnostics within our laboratory. With this microscopy, owned by Thomas, we can now diagnose tuberculosis with much higher sensitivity. In addition, fluorescent microscopy also makes it possible to identify bacteria and parasites in urine and stool samples. Many thanks to Thomas! #quinacare #microscopy #ulisboa #tuberculosis #putumayo #hospitalsanmiguel
