Nicaragua prosthetics program aids war amputees in Managua
In Managua the Red Cross and Sandinista Health Ministry train Nicaraguans to manufacture prosthetic limbs. Amputees, including Isaias Guerrero, learn assembly and fitting as production expands amid wartime demand. Most devices are built locally, with parts only partly imported, reducing reliance on foreign suppliers.
