Final Report Grant Application
	D-2374    Bolivia - La Paz ICU Equipment $27,209 The Hospital del Niño, Dr. Ovidio Aliaga, located in La Paz, Bolivia, currently serves as the only third level medical center (the highest level regarding a specialty such as pediatric care) caring for children in La Paz city, with a global population of almost 2 million people. The current equipment available at Hospital del Niño does not include an Intensive Care and Post Operatory unit for cardio patients, thus limiting it’s ability to deliver proper care to children in need of heart and lung surgery. The requested project could be implemented in 90 days upon reception of all funds required, and would have a continuous and sustainable life cycle of at least 5 years, helping thousands of lives in that period. Our Project would provide the equipment required to fulfill the needs of the Hospital and it's patients.
