Mission Statement
Andean Health & Development is fundamentally changing rural health care in Ecuador by providing sustainable, quality medical care today and by training the rural health care leaders of tomorrow.
About This Cause
AHD is the only rural health provider in Latin America that delivers quality care based on a proven model of self-sufficiency and capacity building. AHD offers the only residency program that trains rural family physicians — where local faculty train Ecuadorian physicians to work in their own communities. AHD has been operating Pedro Vicente Maldonado (PVM) hospital and clinics for almost 25 years and has served more than 175,000 people. In 2014, AHD constructed a new health complex called Hesburgh Hospital in Santo Domingo, Ecuador, with a 60-bed hospital, outpatient area and various specialty departments, and a training center. In addition to adding critically needed hospital care to an area where 400,000 mostly poor people live, this new complex allowed AHD to expand its family medicine residency program and conduct meaningful public health research in the community. Both PVM and Hesburgh facilities are operated 100% by Ecuadorians. We work with the local government entities, with US and Ecuadorian universities, and with donors around the world.
