Nicaraguan authorities have undertaken various regional health and administrative efforts. The Ministry of Health and the Managua Mayor's Office launched cleaning and fumigation campaigns in cemeteries to prevent mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, and zika. While dengue and chikungunya cases reportedly decreased in late October 2026, officials noted increases in malaria, leptospirosis, influenza, and pneumonia.

Parallel to these preventative measures, the country is expanding its use of regenerative medicine and stem cell therapies. These advanced techniques, which have been under study since 2013, utilize cells from adipose tissue to treat conditions including diabetic foot, chronic ulcers, chronic kidney disease, and pulmonary fibrosis.
