Dr. Jackie Pando Kelly
This ambulance project is led by Irish /Peruvian Dr Jackie Pando Kelly who is a Clinical Lecturer at the Department of Paediatrics & Child Health and Out-patients Paediatric Doctor at CUH/ UCC.
She is originally from Lima- Peru where she did her undergraduate medical training. She completed her Paediatric training in Ireland in 2010. (Jackie’s Dad is from Peru and Mum is from Limerick)
As a medical student in Peru, she became involved in the problems of poor communities, particularly the “Mama Ashu” Hospital in the rural town of Chacas, 11,000 feet above sea level. The hospital has 40 beds, an emergency room, two delivery rooms, two surgical theatres and a small laboratory and radiology department.
Funds for medicine and other necessary supplies are now raised by volunteer groups in Ireland and Italy. The hospital depends entirely on doctors and nurses, Italian, Peruvian and Irish who volunteer their time and services. The hospital provides health services to over 8000 people, who without the help wouldn’t have any medical care.
