Working for the health and well-being of the children of the department of south Colombia, the soldiers of the Ninth Brigade of Colombian National Army coordinate the medical activity Healing The Children, which seeks to benefit a large number of minors with congenital pathologies such as cleft palate, cleft lip, clubfoot, sequelae from burns and congenital dislocation of the hip, who will be assisted free of charge by about more than 70 health professionals in different specialties.
This health activity led by the Huila Chamber of Commerce, has the participation of the Huila Governorate, Colombian National Army, University Hospital of Neiva, Surcolombiana University, Ecopetrol, Hocol, transport companies, among other organizations, business and institutions of the region.
On this occasion, the Ninth Brigade joined this important cause, providing accommodation to more than 50 children and their families, during the procedural time and recovery process after surgical procedures. In the same way, the benefited minors will be accompanied by the awareness squads who with recreational activities support this humanitarian operation that heals hearts and gives smiles.
The medical activity is carried out until June 5, where support will be provided to children from different municipalities of Huila, Caquetá, Putumayo, Meta, Cauca, Tolima and Cundinamarca in its twenty-ninth version.
