Medical Care

Healing beyond boundaries.

Obras Sociales del Santo Hermano Pedro (Las Obras) operates as a major surgical and outpatient hub serving Antigua and villages from across Guatemala. The hospital and clinical facilities provide access to care for thousands who have no other way to get health care.

Their work is powered by a team of Guatemalan professionals who are supported by visiting medical, surgical and allied clinical volunteer teams from the U.S., Canada, and Europe. This collaboration is key to sharing knowledge, expanding resources, and developing long-term medical skills for the local community.
