Union denounces that aid is prevented from entering a children’s hospital in Venezuela

The Venezuelan union Monitor Salud denounced this Sunday that a shipment of food donated by the NGO Santi and his friends and directed to the José Manuel de los Ríos children’s hospital in Caracas could not enter the medical center, although it did not specify which authority prevented the entry.

“At the JM de los Ríos hospital, not only are workers denied the possibility of being heard and receive supplies for their protection, but patients, who are children, are also denied any donation.”Wrote on Twitter the general coordinator of Monitor Salud, Mauro Zambrano.

• “We are concerned about the presence in the Peruvian presidency of a person affecting Maduro” | INTERVIEW
• In a new judicial turn, they suspend delivery of Hugo ‘El Pollo’ Carvajal to the United States.
• Guaidó believes that he condemns a military man who killed a protester “is one more step”

The union member accompanied the complaint with a photo of a truck full of boxes with food donated by Santi and his friends, an NGO whose objective is to provide support to children and adolescents with chronic diseases in JM de los Ríos.

“This shipment full of food was a donation from the Santi organization and his friends. It was aimed at children and their caregivers, who, in many cases, do not even have what to eat and what they give in the hospital is truly deplorable. But it was not allowed”, He highlighted.

Finally, he published a video of a woman identified as Elizabeth Suárez, mother of a leukemia patient, who asserts that the shortage of items in the hospital is “So alarming” that he should have kept “The injector that she got herself for her hospitalized son.”

“A nurse tells me that, with the same injector with which the blood was drawn, I can save it to reuse because there is no injector in the triage service.”

On September 10, Zambrano also denounced that José Manuel de los Ríos, the main pediatric care center in Venezuela, is “ruined”.

In February 2018, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) granted precautionary measures to a group of transplanted children from the JM de Los Ríos after several protests in which parents and the patients themselves denounced the lack of treatment in the Service of Nephrology.

Subsequently, in August 2019, the IACHR issued a resolution in which it urged the Venezuelan Government to protect children with serious and urgent illnesses treated at that hospital.

The IACHR asked the Venezuelan State “to adopt the necessary measures to guarantee the life, personal integrity and health of the children” treated in 13 services of this hospital, and also asked to provide medical treatment and guarantee access to medicines.

On that occasion, he also asked the Government of Venezuela Adopt “the necessary measures to ensure that the health and safety conditions in which the children and adolescents are patients in the thirteen Services (…) comply with the applicable international standards.”
