## The Mobile Clinic

At the heart of the work is the equipping and maintenance of a mobile clinic that provides access to medical care for the population in the north of the country, far from hospitals, practices, health centres or pharmacies.

- The mobile clinic visits all 10 supported villages every month.
- Since 2017, the clinic has been led by a Nicaraguan physician.
- The team also includes a nurse, the driver and coordinator Gema Calderon.

## Village Pharmacies and Brigadistas

To permanently improve medical care in the region and further involve the population in healthcare, Nicaragua Projekt also equips small village pharmacies with medicines and materials.

- For the day-to-day operation of the Botiquines, Brigadistas — volunteer, non-medically trained villagers — are trained on-site by our doctor in the use of medicines and their application.
- Our nurse monitors the pharmacies monthly to support the Brigadistas and deliver supplies.

## The Maria de Nazareth Girls' Project

Nicaragua Projekt also specifically supports the MARIA de NAZARETH association in Ocotal.

- Here, girls who typically come from extremely poor, troubled families are looked after.
- Alcohol, drugs, prostitution and sexual abuse form the backdrop for this need.
- School attendance and, in two cases, university studies of those in care are also funded.

## The Dental Project

The dental clinic is a project of the Asociacion Vida Nueva, funded by German Doctors and supervised by us.

- A Nicaraguan dentist treats patients from our communities on-site and at a consultorio in Casa Nazareth.
