Hospital Vozandes Quito

Hospital Vozandes Quito (HVQ) is a missionary urban general hospital strategically located on the north side of Ecuador’s capital city. The hospital serves as a trauma center and has residencies in family practice and ophthalmology. The original hospital opened on 12th October 1955, and since then has grown to a 76-bed facility, with modern equipment, highly skilled doctors and nurses from around the world, and an HIV/AIDS clinic. It has gained the respect and reputation as the leading trauma center in Quito. These vital services - plus the Charity Fund that ensures urgent medical care for those who cannot pay for it - make HVQ a model of God's love.
