FundaHigado America is an initiative dedicated to the training and education of medical personnel in Latin America and the Caribbean, specifically in the field of pediatric liver transplantation by living donor. In our region, the scarcity of resources and lack of expertise in these types of medical procedures can be a significant barrier for children who suffer from serious liver diseases and need a transplant to survive. FundaHigado America is committed to changing this reality by offering high-quality training and advice to local healthcare professionals so they can perform pediatric liver transplants safely and effectively.
Our approach is not simply limited to theoretical training; We are also actively involved in direct medical care for children who require immediate treatment. During the local medical staff training process, our health experts provide top-notch medical care to pediatric patients, ensuring they receive appropriate and timely treatment while local doctors gain experience and confidence in performing pediatric liver transplants.
The ultimate goal of FundaHigado America is to establish living donor pediatric liver transplant programs that are sustainable and autonomous in the region. To achieve this, we work closely with local medical institutions, providing not only the necessary training, but also ongoing support and advice to ensure that programs can operate effectively even after our direct intervention concludes.
Since our inception, we have witnessed the transformative impact our work has had on the lives of children and their families throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. In places like Venezuela, where we have established a sustainable transplant program since 2001, we have given hope to numerous children who might otherwise have lost their battle against serious liver diseases. Today, this program remains the only one of its kind in the country, demonstrating the viability and effectiveness of our long-term strategy.
Every child who benefits from our programs represents a story of hope and rebirth. They are living testimonies to the importance of providing equitable access to specialized health care, especially in regions where resources are limited and needs are great. Through our commitment to training and education, we are building a legacy of hope and health for future generations, ensuring that children in Latin America and the Caribbean have the opportunity to live full and healthy lives.
