Health and nutrition conditions in the Central American countries: An overview and feasible strategies for the near future

Abstract:

Although there are disparities in health and nutrition conditions among the countries in the Central American and Panama region, health and nutrition problems still exist in all countries. These problems are more severe in rural areas, yet most available services are urban oriented. The Health Ministries of the Central American countries are presently determined to extend health services to rural areas, strengthening the primary health care programs and maximizing the participation of the community. It is expected that national efforts integrated with international and bilateral aid and technical assistance will contribute to reduce infant and child mortality and malnutrition in the region in the next five years.
