WUGI is a new student group at Washington University in St. Louis that has joined forces with Engineers Without Borders (EWB). We are a multidisciplinary group focused on enhancing the largest public hospital in Guatemala, Roosevelt Hospital ,and increasing the capacity of their healthcare system. The primary objective of this project is to repair medical equipment at Roosevelt as well as to educate others and create a self-sustaining program.
