Our Partners
Doctors from around the world see this opportunity to help an underserved population, as well as learn.
In a tiny village, a universal model is created for global health.
Our partners include top hospitals and universities around the world. With their dedication and often annual trips to Yantalo, they make it possible to provide top care, which often isn’t available anywhere else in Peru! These unique partnerships not only provide healthcare to those in Peru, but also give invaluable learning opportunities to the volunteer physicians and residents.
