- Authors
Renk, Becca
- Abstract
When she finishes speaking, I thank Dr. Reyes personally for the quality care that Orla is receiving in our hometown public hospital. We're settling in to our daughter Orla's sixth night in the hospital. Minister Acosta explains that the period from 1990 to 2006 when Nicaragua had followed structural adjustment policies of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund led to extreme inequality, seriously deteriorated infrastructure, and deep poverty, particularly in Nicaragua's countryside. THE PRIVILEGE OF FREE HEALTH CARE On the morning of Orla's seventh day in the hospital, the doctor tells us that her platelets count is high enough to safely send her home.
