On Doctor’s Orders

In 2023:
5,400 patients saw the doctor at the Nueva Vida Clinic…

They also got medicine from our People’s Pharmacy on doctor’s orders – without medicine, patients don’t get better, and our patients can’t afford to buy their own medicines - you can help!

 

In 2023:
150 patients came into the clinic monthly – at least 12 clinic visits each – for chronic illness...

…They also got medicine – without medicine, patients can’t control their chronic illnesses - you can help!

 

In 2023:
2,100 patients got their teeth cleaned &
2,400 saw the dentist to get fillings and some for extractions ….

…They also got medicine for pain and infection – without medicine, pain is unbearable, and infections can become dangerous - you can help!

 

In 2023:
Health promoters attended 60,000 patient visits in their own homes at night and on weekends when our clinic is closed. Patients got their blood pressure and blood sugar checked, they got wounds cleaned and bandaged…

…and they also got medicine – without medicine, kids’ fevers don’t go down at night, pain doesn’t go away, coughs don’t stop, and asthma attacks don’t end…you can help!

 

But with economic inflation and sanctions against Nicaragua, the cost of medicine keeps going up - our single largest cost at the clinic is medicine -

In any given month, medicine costs total
$10,000 - $15,000!
