Health Care
Quality Medical and Dental Treatment
In 2007, the Angels of the Amazon began partnering with the medical clinic in Esperanza Village. By 2022, the clinic was designated as a hospital by the Peruvian Ministry of health and renamed the Angels of the Amazon Hospital. This hospital is the only entity supporting the medical needs of the people of the Tahuayo River basin. Although the medical center was built to service the health care and needs of the people of the Tahuayo River basin, patients in medical need often travel from surrounding communities seeking out quality medical and dental treatment and care that is offered by the clinic.
