GUIMEDIC Clínica Médica - 44987 Guadalajara

Founded by Dr. Rosales in 2011, GUIMEDIC is a humanitarian medical association built on the belief that access to medical services is a human right, and health is invaluable. 

As a part of her medical degree, Dr. Rosales successfully completed a mandatory year of social service. She was assigned by the Health Secretary to a remote area in the State of Jalisco, which happened to be eight hours away by car from the nearest hospital. Dr. Rosales reflects on her experience:

On my way there, I thought I would have a clinic with equipment, but when I arrived there was nothing. After a few days in the community, I met Maria, an indigenous woman. She had walked more than 20 hours with her sick newborn to ask for my help, but when she arrived, her baby was already lifeless. I could feel her pain.

Moved by the tragedy she witnessed, Dr. Rosales took action to address the root of the problem - access. She started GUIMEDIC, a humanitarian medical association dedicated to bringing health services to remote areas in Mexico to ensure no one was left behind, without care.
