List of Medical Needs

 
The objective is to improve the conditions in the areas of Rural Health and Surgical Services in Nicaragua.  

Challenge:  2.7 million people in Nicaragua have very limited or no access to medicine and doctors. Poor health conditions become worse when adequate care is not received.

Approach:  Amigos for Christ will continue to provide family practice services in the 15 communities where we currently serve. However, we would like to build small health clinics in these villages that will serve as a base for volunteer community members, Nicaraguan aid workers, and Amigos for Christ medical personnel to serve those that have limited alternatives. For cases requiring surgery, the Amigos for Christ will continue to encourage and support Surgical Teams that will serve at the St. Martin de Porress hospital at Betania.
