“Fear always exists. There is always fear of divulging any information… there is always the feeling that speaking is a sin,” says a health worker from a public hospital in Nicaragua, who agreed to talk to CONFIDENCIAL about the real situation of the coronavirus pandemic, with the condition of omitting his real identity for fear of reprisals. He is not the only one who is afraid.
In Nicaragua, fear is the common denominator in public health units, where doctors have no voice because those who have spoken out have been fired. It is the same fear that exists in various areas of the country to express an opinion against the policies and guidelines of a government that tries to impose its truth, putting the lives of many at risk. Even in a pandemic.
