The project

Building and equipping the first transplant unit in the public system.

The project covers the construction, fit-out and equipping of the first Bone Marrow Transplant Unit (UTMO) in Bolivia’s public health system.

It addresses the lack of high-complexity infrastructure and guarantees access for people with limited resources. Love Wins drives the project from the management side: it brings together individuals, businesses and institutions, channels contributions and oversees the work with transparency and responsibility.

Why it matters

A unit that does not yet exist in the public system.

  • An infrastructure gap

    Today Bolivia has no public units equipped to perform bone marrow transplants free of charge or at a subsidized cost.

  • National reach

    The IOOB receives patients referred from all 9 departments of Bolivia.

  • Access for those who need it most

    The project guarantees access for people with limited resources.
