- "Achievements in health care have also been great. 80,000 volunteers
- were trained in preventative medicine. One result was a 50% drop in
- malaria. The incidence of measles, a prime killer of children in
- Somoza's day, decreased from 3,784 in 1981 to 219 in 1982. Effective
- use of oral rehydration techniques has led to a dramatic decline in
- deaths from diarrhea. The percentage of the national budget spent on
- health has increased 600%"
