NICARAGUA

2nd poorest

country in
Latin America

In some villages in Nicaragua, healthcare data

is kept by hand. One person in each village
records health information about families in
a notebook. Supervisors collect it every few
months.
Data can take
6 months to
reach the
capital.
Only then
can medical
professionals
respond to
health crises.

Our partner in the project is AMOS Health and

Hope. They provide basic healthcare
administration in 27 villages and have been
working in Nicaragua for more than 35 years.
