Superemos hosted two medical brigades in February 2014. One from Dorchester House Multi Service Center and another from Boston University. The Dorchester House group visited seventeen communities in and around the city of Estelí seeing a total of over 2000 patients - more than 1100 children and over 900 adults. The Boston University group provided dental care in five rural communities around the city of Estelí to about 100 patients and also preventive dental care in five primary schools in the city of Estelí itself to a total of over 600 children.
Accompanying the Dorchester House group were four specialists who assisted the local Estelí Health Centre dramatically reduce its waiting list for colposcopies and related procedures. Members of the group also provided educational talks to local volunteer health promoters in Esteli andthe nearby towns of Condega, San Nicolás, Pueblo Nuevo, San Juan de Limay and La Trinidad. Both groups worked closely with the local authorities and continue to coordinate to ensure that planning for next year's visiting health delegations is as effective as possible.
