For the fourth consecutive year, the Colombian Civil Air Patrol arrives in Tauramena and Villanueva

With the aim of continuing to contribute to the well-being of its neighboring communities, for the fourth consecutive year GeoPark supported the arrival of the medical Brigade from the Colombian Civil Air Patrol to Tauramena and Villanueva, Casanare.

During the last week of July and the third week of August, 67 health professionals attended to nearly 1,400 people in the health centers set up for the two municipalities, who had access to services such as pediatrics, prenatal care, optometry, dermatology, dentistry, among others.

These successful Brigades resulted in the generation of more than 1,500 medical consultations, the delivery of 297 pairs of glasses, the installation of 79 dental prostheses, among others. Jenny Barbosa, leader of Community Relations at GeoPark stated that: “Ensuring the well-being of our communities is a demonstration of our commitment to continue being the preferred neighbor and ally of the communities. We thank the Mayors of Tauramena and Villanueva, as well as the local hospitals of both municipalities for helping us coordinate these medical days and the Colombian Civil Air Patrol for continuing to be our allies in safeguarding the health and well-being of our neighbors.”.

In turn, Pamela Estrada, General Director of the Colombian Civil Air Patrol assured that: “For the Colombian Civil Air Patrol, it is a pleasure to return to Tauramena and Villanueva hand in hand with GeoPark and with the support of the Mayors and local hospitals. This support was fundamental to ensure the success of the days in which more than 1,400 people in vulnerable conditions were able to access health services for free.”. 

As a company committed to community development, GeoPark will continue to implement this type of initiative that promotes the quality of life of its neighboring communities.
