CAMTA was in Quito, Ecuador for Mission 2026 from Feb. 20th – Mar. 2nd and Feb. 27th – Mar. 9th.

Our team of 105 volunteers, made up of medical and lay people, changed the lives of 40 adults and 20 children during Mission 2026. Seven of those adults had bilateral hip replacements, while nine of the children had more than one procedure. Over the years, CAMTA has changed the lives of 1, 418 Ecuadorians through orthopaedic surgery.
