The group of Greater Louisville Medical Society Foundation medical professionals who visited Managua
in January this year was a bit smaller than before. Ten of us decided that helping the poorest in the utterly poor nation of Nicaragua, despite its 2019 civil uprising and its bloody reprisals, was worth it. We signed papers accepting the risk and added emergency insurance to get into a country that was listed by the State Department as high risk due to “civil unrest, crime, limited health care availability, and arbitrary enforcement of laws”.
