The Mobile Unit consists of a portable laparoscopic tower and anesthesia machine and other supplies and instruments transported to and reassembled at provincial hospitals. The purpose of the Mobile Unit is to place our general surgery services within the reach of the patients who most need them.

A final installment of our blog series dedicated to introducing a few of Solidarity Bridge’s key Bolivian medical partners. This partner story takes us to the field of Neurosurgery, where we are blessed to work alongside the best surgical talents in Bolivia!

So how does Solidarity Bridge find local surgeons to work with in Bolivia? Who are they?

What does it mean to have a container with $1.8 million in medical equipment and supplies officially released?

We are overjoyed to finally share the stories of the first patients treated in the new pediatric CCU!

What can I tell you about the people we serve in Bolivia? It’s very hard to communicate, but In our patients I encounter a directness that I rarely experience in the United States, a simplicity of soul, a humble and powerful capacity for clear, straightforward connection.
