Since its opening in 2014, the Center has been managed in alliance comprising the University of Colorado, Project Cure , Foundation for the Comprehensive Health of Guatemalans – Funsalud- and Agroamerica, aiming to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals .
To date, the clinic has provided a range of services for more than 35,000 patients, including medical treatments, dental care, and a childbirth center. The community programs focus on mother and child health and youth development; from 2014 to 2020, 3,343 children and 1,976 women have participated in the programs to decrease maternal and infant mortality and improve the nutritional status of the area; the local level of child malnourishment has been dramatically reduced from the national average of 50% .
The Research Center complements the actions of the HDC. The main objective is to scientifically investigate the root causes of the health problems observed in the region by measuring the incidence of diseases such as Zika, Chikungunya , Dengue, diarrhea, and most recently, COVID-19, to develop action plans to eradicate them.
