In Ecuador
- Ecuador’s Social Security Institute
AHD’s hospitals have a contract with Social Security which is a public insurance provided to Ecuador’s workforce including farmers. Social Security patients compose about 85% of Hospital PVM’s total patients and about 10% of Hesburgh Hospital’s. - Ecuador’s Ministry of Health
Physicians working at Ministry of Health facilities receive residency training at Hesburgh Hospital so they can become health care leaders in their own public hospitals in other parts of rural Ecuador. - Catholic University of Ecuador
AHD has conducted its family practice residency program with this university partner. - Tsachila Tribe of Santo Domingo
This is the local tribe of Santo Domingo (2,500 people) who have maintained significant isolation from western culture for hundreds of years, but are now confronted with issues of language, deforestation and environmental contamination, a rapidly evolving western diet, educational challenges, and of course new health considerations. Hesburgh Hospital has conducted research on this group to help address illnesses of modernization that challenge the limits of their traditional medical model, which is managed by healers.

Since 2001, this foundation in Springfield, IL has provided seven containers of high quality hospital equipment and supplies to AHD’s two hospitals. - Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)

RMHC has provided AHD with funding to develop its residency program in Santo Domingo and helped build the simulation lab on HH’s campus. Earlier funds helped bring high quality services to mothers and families, and in turn helped bring Hospital PVM to financial breakeven. - Trimedx Foundation
Trimedx provides medical equipment repair and support by sending bilingual volunteer biomedical technicians to Hesburgh Hospital annually. - University of Notre Dame’s Eck Institute
Master’s in Global Health students from Eck conduct research on antibiotic resistance patterns in the communities where AHD works. The Institute donated a microbiology lab, which is housed on Hesburgh Hospital’s campus. - University of Notre Dame’s Class of 84
