Sangolqui Hospital

e
Today we went to visit a small hospital about a half hour outside of Quito.  It is close to Cotopaxi, the volcano.  The name of the city is Sangoqui. We need to find a hospital that we can partner with to develop a project in neotalalogy or pediatrics.  It needs to be in a poor area and help many disadvantaged people.

This is the newborn intensive care area.  This hospital is having trouble repairing equipment so they are asking for new incubator, monitor and phototherapy unit to treat jaundice.  There were 2 babies in the room.  Hopefully we can help them get the needed equipment.  We have to send a report to Lima and wait for their approval.
