Ana Cristina: a life-saving surgery

Coordinated by Dr. Andrés Astudillo at Clínica Latino, a surgery that saved Ana Cristina’s life.

This story describes past assistance. Current support depends on available funds.

Ana Cristina needed a surgery her family could not pay for. Dr. Andrés Astudillo coordinated the operation at Clínica Latino and Social Vision covered its cost. Today Ana Cristina is recovering with her family.

Cases like hers are why the foundation exists: a professional who is willing to treat, a hospital willing to work at a fair cost, and donors whose gifts close the gap between what a family has and what an operation costs.
