What we do
The "Sala Ana Frank" program
The Sala Ana Frank program, provides Level IV care to young patients of low income from the regions of Valle, Cauca, Narino, Putumayo and Choco, without distinction of origin, race or religion. For these patients the Hospital is the only public facility with the capacity of responding to complex pediatric cases that may require critical care.
This service is provided through two units available in the Ana Frank Program:
The Sala Ana Frank Hospitalization Ward, which has served approximately 2,500 pre- and post-surgical pediatric patients per year.
The Ana Frank Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (CIPAF), that serves around 500 children on an annual basis.
