Add more to the pre-1979 history. You only have two paragraphs for the first 150 years of health care in Nicaragua. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 08:53, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

" Levels include (1) the central level, (2) the SILAIS (Local Systems of Comprehensive Care) level, and (3) the municipal level." spell out numbers or make a formal listed, I've never seen a Wikipedia article describe parts of a system (in this case the levels) like this before.

"In Latin America, stigma and discrimination against HIV/AIDS serve as barriers to effective responses and are linked to social inequalities associated with gender, living status, and sexuality.[31] One study found that while 90% of Nicaraguan adolescents would accept and care for a family member with HIV/AIDS, only 69% would tell anyone else if they got diagnosed as HIV-infected and only 46% would share food with someone who was infected.[30] Nine years following the detection of the first HIV case in Nicaragua, the Nicaraguan government instituted Law 238 to protect the rights of those infected with HIV/AIDS in regards to confidentiality, access to healthcare, and nondiscrimination,[32] setting the precedent for future intervention strategies focused on decreasing AIDs stigma amongst various professionals, including health care workers." typo at the end and source?

Given the unsourced statements and the fact this appears to be missing some info, I will fail the article. The writing in generally could also be more formal, but that should probably be dealt with once the article is closer to complete content wise. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 08:53, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
