Cuba Helps Nicaraguan
People on Visual
Problems
Nicaraguan press media
highlighted the arrival
of 15,000 Nicaraguan
people that have been
operated of visual
problems in the
Ophthalmologic Center
where Cuban specialists
are working.
Nicaraguan conservative
newspaper La Prensa said
Celestina del Carmen
Alvarez became the
number 15,000 patient at
the Ciudad Sandino
Hospital, 9.3 miles
northwest of the
Nicaraguan capital.
This center is a great
chance for people like
us, with a few economic
resources, since we
don't pay for anything
here," Alvarez said.
Cuban specialists took
care of more than 28,000
cases in the entire
country, as reported by
Doctor Luis Carlos
Avila, head of the Cuban
medical brigade.
"We have interviewed
5,000 patients after two
months they have been
operated, and they are
satisfied," he pointed
out.
The newspaper also
stands out statements of
the head of the
Nicaraguan Public Health
Ministry (MINSA),
Guillermo Gonzalez,
about the installation
of two new centers in
the country at the
beginning of next year.
One will be in the
Autonomous Region of the
North Atlantic (RAAN)
and the other one in the
Autonomous Region of the
Athletic South (RAAS).
