The "Todos con Voz" Medical
Brigade Begins Studies in Nicaragua
Local authorities from Achuapa, Santa Rosa
del Peñon and El Sauce, Nicaragua,
accompanied the medical teams –located in
these municipalities- which set to work
immediately, the Prensa Latina news agency
reports.
Made up by four specialists each, the groups
are distributed as follows: five in Santa
Rosa del Peñon, seven in Achuapa, and the
same number in El Sauce.
Later on, the medical brigade will continue
its studies in El Jicaral, La Paz Centro,
Nagarote, Larreynaga, Telica and
Quezalguaque, to end in the rural and urban
areas of the municipality of Leon, the
departmental capital.
Likewise, the 10 municipalities of Leon have
been included in studies that, according to
the working plan, should conclude on May 3.
The Todos con Voz brigade is composed of 65
Cuban and 25 Nicaraguan doctors and began
its work in Nicaragua in October 2009, being
the studies made in the departments of
Masaya, Matagalpa, Chinandega and Managua
already completed.
Cuban geneticist Miladys Orraca, coordinator
if the brigade in these four departments,
announced that 84,453 houses have already
been visited and 53,621 people with various
kinds of disabilities have been studied, of
which 1,659 are considered critical cases.
The project is based on the obtaining of
data that allow for the Nicaraguan
government to know the situation of each of
the disabled, with the purpose of devising
plans and programs to help that vulnerable
sector of the population.
