The contra war and economic blockade have crippled health care in Nicaragua. Acute shortages of the most basic medicines create scenes like this one in Villa Nueva: A six-day-old. baby with an infected umbilical cord. No antibiotics to treat infection. No anesthetic to stop pain. Nicaragua Medical Aid is ready to buy and ship the drugs and vaccines most urgently needed in this nation under seige. All we need is cash. And so we’re asking you. Because we have access to a church-related source of pharmaceuticals, every dollar you give buys at least ten dollars worth of medicine. Your contribution of... $25 will deliver 12,000 doses of penicillin, enough to treat four hundred infections among peasants being reached by medical care for the first time in Nicaragua’s history. $50 will buy enough medicine to care for 66 TB victims for a month—in a nation which had to have a revolution to make sure children were vaccinated against the disease. $100 can restock a rural dispensary serving an entire district, operating despite contra terror attacks which have leveled 61 health facilities in four years. Produced by Public Media Center With your help, vital vaccines, anesthetics, drugs and surgical supplies will arrive in Nicaragua in as little as six weeks. To ensure that our shipping containers are filled to capacity, however, we must receive your check within the next 30 days. Again, it’s absolutely vital that you mail the coupon below, with your donation, immediately. To save a life, they could not afford to wait for anesthetic in Villa Nueva.
