Lasting change takes more than one surgery. It takes knowledge, collaboration, and investment in local medical teams.

Through Solidarity Bridge’s pediatric epilepsy program, visiting specialists work alongside Bolivian physicians to provide specialized care and strengthen local capacity to treat children with epilepsy.

This Giving Day, support the partnerships that make lasting change possible and help expand access to specialized neurological care for children in Bolivia.

The General Surgery Mission Trip is underway at the Vinto Hospital in Vinto, Bolivia! For many years, alongside our sister organization, Puente de Solidaridad, we’ve supported mobile surgical clinics here—bringing laparoscopic procedures to patients who otherwise wouldn’t have access to this level of care.

Thanks to years of collaboration and mentorship, local surgeons are now able to perform most general surgeries independently. During this visit, our Medical Director and General Surgery missioner, Dr. Gay Garrett, will continue working with them on more advanced techniques to further strengthen their skills.

But most importantly, this trip marks a meaningful milestone. The doctors we’ve worked with for years have gone on to train and mentor others—creating a ripple effect that now allows hundreds of patients to receive quality surgical care close to home.

Special recognition to Vinto Hospital for the consolidation of its surgical service offerings for the local community.
