"Honduras and Guatemala are countries of pandemics: the pandemics of hunger and no access to water, of dengue, corruption, repression, and today of Covid-19. All these pandemics are inter-related. Focusing actions and resources on one pandemic –COVID-19- without an integral approach strategy, only deepens the others. That is, there will be more people living with hunger, dengue, lack of water and loss of resources due to corruption and repression."
(Adapted from statement by Dr. Juan Almendares Bonilla,
Honduran physician, former university rector)
