Healthcare
Many Nicaraguan residents lack access to healthcare and other necessary services. According to the World Health Organization, as of 2013, there were only .43 provincial hospitals for every100,000 people in the country. Community clinics are widespread, but may lack materials or personnel needed to provide proper care. Many organizations from around the world and from within Nicaragua are working with the Nicaraguan government to increase community access to healthcare and to provide healthcare facilities with the proper supplies.
