title: Health and medicine in Nicaragua.
abstract: A mass of statistics indicates that the health of the nation as a whole has benefited under the Sandinistas' unified health system. Nevertheless, many physicians and the principal coalition of opposition parties that will oppose the Ortega regime in this month's election advocate replacing it with a three-tiered system aimed at different segments of the population.
