SiGMA and EGT Digital join forces to expand critical healthcare facility in Peru
SiGMA is proud to announce EGT Digital’s sponsorship of an upcoming April expedition to Machu Picchu, Peru, where, on the 12th, the SiGMA Foundation will inaugurate a project in the Amazonian city of Iquitos. The philanthropic project supports the expansion of the Algo Bello Para Dios Hospital, which is situated within the Saint Martin de Porres parish.
Currently serving impoverished communities, the hospital is a lifeline for those with limited access to medical care. This project will significantly bolster its capacity and resources, directly addressing the growing healthcare demands of the region.
A spokesperson for EGT Digital said, “We are delighted to participate in the SiGMA Foundation’s charity initiative. At EGT Digital, we strongly believe in the power of collaboration to drive meaningful change. By joining forces, we can make a lasting impact and contribute to the well-being of communities in need.
“As EGT Digital continues its global expansion into LATAM, we see it as our responsibility to give back to the region we are becoming part of. Supporting the SiGMA Foundation’s charity expedition to Machu Picchu and contributing to the construction of a new hospital annex in Iquitos reflects our commitment to creating a positive impact.
“At the core of our values is innovation – not only in our products but also in how we contribute to the world. Through our support for the SiGMA Foundation’s efforts in Iquitos, we hope to spark transformative progress that extends beyond technology and into the lives of those who need it most.”
Construction is currently underway on the Algo Bello Para Dios Hospital.
Led by Fr. Raymond Portelli, the hospital serves patients suffering from severe and chronic illnesses such as AIDS, tuberculosis, cancer, and renal failure. Key upgrades include expanded inpatient facilities, new patient rooms, a green therapeutic recreation area, a conference room for staff training, a storage facility, and water tanks to ensure a stable water supply. These additions aim to increase the hospital’s capacity to treat more patients while improving the quality of care and creating a more holistic healing environment.
Jessie Busuttil, Operations Manager of the SiGMA Foundation, commented that “EGT Digital has been a longstanding supporter of the SiGMA Foundation, contributing to our initiatives through donations and active participation in our charity art auctions held during the SiGMA Awards. We are deeply grateful for their belief in our mission and their commitment to using their industry influence to uplift those who need it most.”
This partnership showcases how the gaming industry can channel its success into purpose-driven efforts, impacting underprivileged communities on a global scale. The hospital expansion is set to transform lives, offering hope and improved healthcare access to countless individuals in the Amazonian region.
