Emergency Care: The Air Force’s new SkyCourier, funded by Itaipu, is designed to carry patients and support medical evacuations, including from remote communities. Extreme Heat: More than a dozen locations broke temperature records in late September; Mariscal Estigarribia reached 43.8°C, surpassing a 74-year record. Children’s Health: UNICEF estimates 25.8 million children across Latin America and the Caribbean face high risks from El Niño-linked drought or heavy rain, which can disrupt safe water and healthcare. Access to Care: Only about 16% of Paraguay’s 78,795-kilometre road network is paved or improved, a barrier the public works ministry says can leave communities isolated from ambulances and care centres.
