Hospital Baca Ortiz is one of the biggest childrens' hospitals in Ecuador and provides emergency as well as long-term care for Ecuadorian boys and girls. Although the hospital is state-funded, it does not have enough funds to cover patient care, and therefore even the poorest families are charged for their medical treatment. The hospital's major units include a cancer care ward, a trauma ward, a burn unit, cardiology and repiratory units, intensive care for new borns, infants and older children, and out-patient care among many others. Children come to be treated from all over Ecuador at this location in the heart of Quito. Volunteers must be of age 18 or above with minimum education of high school.
