The expedition, consisting of 41 people, will remain in the camps until February 17. This mission is particularly significant because, as highlighted by the association's president, Pilar Sierra, a surgery and anesthesia team has been incorporated for the first time, allowing complex medical interventions to be performed in the area.
“"We are excited to be able to help, and we are sure that this aid will be welcomed there."
The volunteer group includes specialists in pediatrics, gynecology, family medicine, traumatology, dermatology, and nursing, among other specialties. In addition to direct medical assistance, the mission's fundamental objective is training and knowledge exchange with local Sahrawi health professionals.
The aid workers traveled loaded with one ton of humanitarian aid material, including medicines, sanitary equipment, and school supplies. For many participants, such as doctors Laura and Ricard, and photographer Iolanda Sebé, this marks their first experience in international cooperation.
