Venezuela: Dying Infants and No Medicine

Nový příspěvek od Myš »

Venezuela's economy merely based on oil has deteriorated rapidly after prices of oil went down. Leftist Chavez-praising government imposed horrific economic policies which along with high level of corruption led to situation we see today. Death rates among newborns and mothers skyrocketed yet the prezident of Venezuela, Mr. Maduro, says: “I doubt that anywhere in the world, except in Cuba, there exists a better health system than this one,".

"Here in the Caribbean port town of Barcelona, two premature infants died recently on the way to the main public clinic because the ambulance had no oxygen tanks. The hospital has no fully functioning X-ray or kidney dialysis machines because they broke long ago. And because there are no open beds, some patients lie on the floor in pools of their blood. It is a battlefield clinic in a country where there is no war.

“Some come here healthy, and they leave dead,” Dr. Leandro Pérez said, standing in the emergency room of Luis Razetti Hospital, which serves the town."

swimming through the void we hear the word
we lose ourselves but we find it all..."
