In August 2021, we launched our Mesoamerican nephropathy* project to address the high levels of chronic kidney disease in the country. We work in early detection, patient care and health promotion.
In Quetzaltenango, Guatemala’s second-largest city, we run a project that focuses on assisting migrants. Our mobile teams work in different areas in the region, where we provide a range of services to cater for the needs of people on the move, whether travelling north towards Mexico and the United States, or returning home, such as the large number of deported Guatemalans.
*Nephropathy is the deterioration of kidney function
