This Year’s Mission

Our Summer 2025 medical humanitarian mission will take place at the General Hospital in Latacunga, Ecuador. Our mission dates will be July 24 to August 3, 2025, with treatment days from Saturday, July 26 to noon Friday, August 1.

Latacunga is a 9,000-foot Andean city located about two hours south of Quito. There is tremendous poverty in Latacunga. The hospital has a backlog of 1,300 surgical cases, including general, orthopedic, pediatric, gynecology, plastic and maxillofacial surgeries. The need for internal medicine is also tremendous there, given the extreme poverty in Latacunga and surrounding regions. 

Latacunga also has tremendous internal medicine needs because the hospital serves a large area in the interior of Ecuador.

If you are interested in being a part of this transformative experience, please visit our volunteer page for more information and application forms.

Join us as we strive to make an impact with IMAHelps in Latacunga. Together, we can change lives.
