SALUD PEDIÁTRICA

Más de 50 años aportando a la mejora de la salud pediátrica en Bolivia, brindando una atención de calidad con doctores especializados e impartiendo talleres de promoción de la salud.

In February 1967, the Patiño Foundation created the Albina R. de Patiño Pediatric Center in Cochabamba with the basic aim of providing medical care to children, one of the most vulnerable population groups due to marginalization and poverty. Since then, the foundation has grown steadily and has become the reference health center in its area. It is currently the only private hospital with pediatric specialization.

The Foundation has the Albina R. de Patiño Pediatric Center and the Albina R. de Patiño Center for Prevention and Health Promotion in Cochabamba; and the Albina R. de Patiño Child Nutrition Center in La Paz, El Alto. However, it has a national scope.

In the field of pediatric health, the Foundation pursues a twofold objective: on the one hand, the treatment of prevalent pediatric diseases, particularly those related to malnutrition. On the other hand, the impact on the pediatric care system on a national scale thanks to research and dissemination of best practices, as well as the training of medical students.
