How are local medical facilities in Nicaragua?
We asked members about local medical facilities in Nicaragua, they wrote...
"The quality of medical facilities and care in Nicaragua varies depending on where one is located. Some of the larger population centers have improved access to medical facilities and care, while rural areas may have limited or inadequate access. The quality of care at health centers and hospitals is often substandard due to limited resources, outdated equipment and lack of qualified personnel. Access to specialized medical treatment can be difficult to obtain and costly. Although Nicaragua has made an effort to expand access to basic healthcare, there are still many gaps in access and quality of care," wrote a member who made the move to Nicaragua.
