Resumen

Since 2021, a group of 3 medical students and a physician started working together with a shared dream: improving health care access for the most vulnerable communities in Colombia and around the world. Over the years, we have carried out medical brigades, supported rural patients requiring specialized treatment, and conducted medical research. In 2023, we took a significant step forward by officially establishing the Acacia de Vida Foundation in Medellín, Colombia to formalize and expand our efforts.
