Good question, Sally and Dave, and there are lots of resources available, if you know where
to start looking. Here's one :
http://www.lamanzanilla.info/e_services_emergency_0.html
This comes from going to the top of this page, and click on the link at the top right laManzanilla.info website. Some of the info is out of date, but if you keep trying the numbers given, you can get help:
Call Francisco here in La Manzanilla at the number given.
I just tried calling the ambulance for Melaque's # ; they answered and said they are actually in Cihuatlan.
Ted, as of this morning at 9:15 the Centro de Salud was open. They answered their phone. The doctor was there. There have been good reports about her care.
I've known 2 people who recently had emergency treatment on their limbs at the clinic in Melaque; very inexpensive, and good care.
There is, besides Dr. Marta, another Farmacia, with a doctor - she works in another town during the day, and you can see her in the evening. She will examine you, make a diagnosis, and sell you the medicine you need right then and there - or refer you for tests to a larger centre.
Daniel, could you post the 'new' doctor and farmacia's place on the map - she is Doctora Gabriela Vasquez - sorry, I can't remember the name of her street, but it is just an extension of the main road leading into town from the highway.
