Nicaragua: The Other Invasion

Synopsis
Achievements in the area of health reflect the aims and priorities of the Nicaraguan revolution. Polio has been eradicated, infant mortality dramatically reduced and Nicaragua has been selected as one of the five model countries in primary health care by the World Health Organisation, but the US-backed war of the Contras is having a tragic impact.
