On April 22nd we coordinated a medical brigade with the local health authority in Estelí to the rural community of San Roque about 35km south west of the city of Estelí near the departmental border with León. The group included a pediatrican, a gynecologist, a dentist and general medicine practitioners with support to carry out ultrasound examinations and laboratory tests. The group saw a total of 104 patients. The Superemos team working on a program to address domestic violence saw 9 patients who wanted to discuss their family situation. Three medical students and one social work student from the local campus of Nicaragua’s National Autonomous University accompanied the brigade helping to receive patients, dispatch medicines and give educational talks on preventive health care for patients with chronic illnesses.
