Some indicators for 2025

Consultation

In our report from last February, we told you that we launched oral care for the population we serve, both in communities and at our clinic in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico.

We continue to make progress in dental care, in addition to comprehensive consultations and monitoring groups for children under 5 years of age and pregnant women.

Here we share some indicators from this period:

We have worked in 5 municipalities in 7 Tsotsil communities in the Highlands region of Chiapas, Mexico.

794 diagnoses given to 324 children under 12 years of age

The main diagnoses treated:

  • 26% respiratory infections
  • 16% normal nutritional status
  • 11% chronic malnutrition
  • 12% dental problems
  • 8% gastrointestinal infections

Since there is no other type of care in these communities, the care Sanando Heridas provides, in their native language (80% Tzotzil), is vitally important to strengthen the health of children in the area.

Thank you very much for your contribution.

Help us spread the word about our work!

 Algunos indicadores de este 2025

En nuestro informe del mes de febrero pasado, les platicamos que inauguramos la atención bucodental para la población que atendemos, tanto en comunidades como en la clínica con la que contamos en San Cristóbal de las Casas, México.

Seguimos avanzando en la atención dental, además de la consulta integral y los grupos de vigilancia para menores de 5 años y mujeres embarazadas.

Aquí les compartimos algunos indicadores de este período:

Hemos trabajado en 5 municipios en 7 localidades tsotsiles de la región de los Altos en Chiapas México.

794 diagnósticos otorgados a 324 menores de 12 años

Los principales diagnósticos atendidos:

  • 26% infecciones respiratorias
  • 16% estado nutricional normal
  • 11% desnutrición crónica
  • 12% problemas dentales
  • 8% infecciones gastrointestinales

Al no haber otro tipo de atención en estas localidades, la atención que Sanando Heridas otorga, en su lengua natal (80% tsotsil) es de vital importancia para fortalecer la salud de los niños y niñas en la zona.

Muchas gracias por tu aportación.

¡Ayúdanos a difundir nuestro trabajo!
