Eco Salud : a non-profit ultrasound clinic in Guatemala : business plan

Abstract

EcoSalud is a non-profit organization that provides diagnostic imaging services to the citizens of Guatemala who do not have access to medical care. The company is comprised of trained sonographers who will travel to the rural, impoverished regions of Guatemala, providing free ultrasound examinations on pregnant women and citizens experiencing symptoms. In collaboration with Doctors Without Borders, EcoSalud's sonographers will act as scavengers by providing ultrasounds to as many citizens as possible and determining which patients need to be seen by a doctor for treatment. EcoSalud will also open an ultrasound clinic in its capital, Guatemala City, where scans will be offered at a very affordable price. Patients will be able to get appointments quickly, do not need a doctor's referral and will receive their results immediately.
