Health care

Here I am having my blood pressure checked by the nurse at the clinic at the end of our street.

Health care is good in Campo Alegre. There is a resident nurse and a doctor comes once a week from San Carlo, the nearest large town. I take the children to the clinic for their vaccinations or if they are sick.

Seven months ago I had an emergency. I had an ectopic pregnancy and had to be rushed to the hospital. I was sent by ambulance from this clinic to the hospital in San Carlo, where I was operated on.
