Health Care for 10,000 Nicaraguan Campesinos
Organization information
Nicaragua-Projekt e.V.
Location: Bremerhaven, Germany
Summary
Our project has trained 14 local health care providers called brigadistas to provide basic health care to campesino families in 11 remote mountain villages. Brigadistas administer first aid and medications from mini-pharmacies called botiquines. Each month, our Nicaraguan doctor visits each village for consultations. Our nurse refills the botiquines and meets with the brigadistas. Each brigadista sees 50-80 patients per month, in 11 villages: in 2019, we had over 13,000 patient visits.
