MSF has worked in the maternity ward of San Francisco de Asis Hospital, Quibdo, since 2005. Over a five year period, with investment in infrastructure, equipment and constant training of staff, the number of deliveries increased from 1,000 to over 2,500 per year and the maternal death rate decreased 5 times. In May 2010, MSF ends its presence in the maternity ward, but the services continue with the dedicated hospital staff.
