Ratpanat Luxury & Adventure, a tour operator and travel agency specialising in organising safaris in Africa based in Valladolid, and Fundación Recover, Hospitales para África, an NGO specialising in the management and sustainable health development in Africa, have sealed their partnership by signing a collaboration agreement aimed at facilitating access to quality healthcare for everyone in Africa based on a sustainable healthcare model.

Thus, Ratpanat takes a further step in its Social Action which has been driving its activity in Africa since its inception through various projects related to health and women, primarily. The priority objective of this partnership between Ratpanat and Fundación Recover is to contribute to ensuring that Ratpanat generates a positive impact in the local communities in the areas where its reference tourist accommodations are located.

Last February, a team from Fundación Recover moved to Tanzania to detect the health deficiencies in the areas where Ratpanat carries out its tourist activity. As a result of this first trip, the lines of action that both entities will implement in the short and medium term emerge. “After carrying out a reconnaissance mission on the ground, Fundación Recover has proposed to Ratpanat to support the Endulen Hospital and start carrying out as soon as possible some pediatric or minor surgery campaign with specialized medical staff that is part of our network of volunteers,” explains Marta Marañón, general director of Fundación Recover.
