MEXICO CITY—Carlos Quant, an infectious-disease specialist at a Managua public hospital, was fired in early June after he organized a group of like-minded colleagues to tell Nicaraguans how to protect themselves from the new coronavirus. Since then, at least an additional 21 doctors in Nicaragua—the second-poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, after Haiti—have been purged, losing their jobs in public hospitals across the country, according to testimony from doctors and medical associations. Two others resigned.
