Chimborazo Province, Ecuador  —   Engineers Without Borders USA (EWB-USA), in partnership with FIEA Ecuador and the community of Alausí and technical architectural support from HDR, has officially completed construction on a new community healthcare center in Alausí, Ecuador, restoring access to essential medical services after the devastating March 2023 landslide.

In September 2023, EWB-USA began working with community leaders to advance the healthcare acce...
