WHO warns of Venezuela healthcare crisis
The World Health Organization has confirmed that the healthcare system in Venezuela is facing increasing pressure following the two earthquakes that struck the country last week, resulting in over 1,700 deaths and around five thousand injuries, along with widespread destruction of health facilities. Assessments have shown that many hospitals suffered damage, with some operating under significant strain and experiencing shortages of medical staff, particularly in maternity services. This situation threatens the provision of essential care for pregnant women and newborns. These warnings come amidst ongoing relief efforts after the earthquakes, amid the risk of outbreaks of infectious diseases due to displacement conditions.
