Fundación Clinica Noel is a non-profit organization founded in Medellin Colombia over 95 years ago, dedicated to providing high-quality treatment to the most vulnerable kids in the city and region.
The organization is recognized for the comprehensive treatment of rare diseases and musculoskeletal malformations such as cleft lip and palate, osteogenesis imperfecta, among others.
In Colombia, many people have challenges accessing health insurance coverage due to the informal working situation; this means parents are required to pay for the treatment costs, which is difficult for families since they don’t have the resources, leading to the abandonment of the treatment.
In 2020 over 47,000 patients visited Clinica Noel and around 2,800 kids received surgery as part of their treatment.
