Teletón 20-30

Goal Project · Teletón Chiriquí 2026

Equipping and remodeling the Burn Unit.

At Hospital Materno-Infantil José Domingo de Obaldía, a maternal and children’s hospital in David, in western Panama’s Chiriquí province, so children in the region can receive the highest-quality care without traveling to the capital.

The need

Hospital Materno-Infantil José Domingo de Obaldía in David is the main public health facility in Chiriquí province. Its Burn Unit treats 30% of all children under 14 with burns in Panama.

What we’ll do

Fund the unit’s complete equipment and remodeling: debridement, pain management and post-burn follow-up equipment, built to international standards.

The breakdown of deliverables and any change in scope are recorded with a date and a reason.

Who benefits

Children under 14 with burns who come to David from across the province and the rest of Panama. Today that is 30% of those cases nationwide.

The number comes from the hospital’s research and shared national figures.

30%

of Panama’s children under 14 with burns are treated here.

That is why the unit needs modern equipment for debridement, pain management and post-burn follow-up: to meet that demand at international standards.
