Healthcare

Professional healthcare does not exist in most of the communities we work in.

Rainbow Network provides accessible healthcare to the communities we partner with. We aim to keep families healthy and free from treatable diseases.

Health Clinic

Rainbow Network employs physicians that travel to the communities we serve to hold mobile medical clinics and prescribe a variety of medications to treat basic health problems. Rainbow Network also employs one ultrasound specialist and one dentist who travel to each network.

Dentist and patient

We are committed to quality care.

Not only does Rainbow Network provide basic healthcare, we also arrange for any follow-up appointments or special exams, should they be necessary. In circumstances that surpass basic healthcare, we assign patients to our Medical Needs program.

In this program, all of the patients' healthcare needs are provided for. This may include transportation to and from appointments, medication, food, vitamins, as well as the cost for medical supplies, specialists, and surgery.

We also assist in providing overall health information. Rainbow Network holds public health seminars regularly to teach community members about safe sanitation practices, nutrition, growing a family garden, teeth brushing, parasite prevention, and more.

Preventative health and proper nutrition are essential. Malnutrition is a severe threat to many Nicaraguans, especially those that are most vulnerable. We operate over 400 nutrition centers in rural Nicaragua to provide people with a nutritious meal each weekday.
