During the recent dengue outbreak, Victor develope

During the recent dengue outbreak, Victor developed complications after being infected with the dengue virus and had to be hospitalized. Besides the fact that we were able to give him the care he needed, his admission to our hospital was very special: Victor went as a child to the boarding school the first year after the opening. Now, 63 years later, he is hospitalized in the same building. Very special for both him and our staff, including our volunteer doctor Miel Bartels! #ruralhealth #quinacare #hospitalsanmiguel #dengue #ruralhospital

We are proud to present Baukje Zaaijer is the new ambassador of Quina Care. She is replacing Floris van der Sman who we are very thankful for his efforts. Baukje, who recently started with a specialization to become a pediatrician, already visited Hospital San Miguel when the renovation works still had to get started. When the hospital just opened she visited again. She already did many efforts to raise money for Quina Care with one of her largest: a marathon in Groningen to raise money to buy antivenom for snakebites. It is an honour to have her as our ambassador!! #snakebite #ruralhealth #putumayo #quinacare #voluntary #ambassador #hospitalsanmiguel
