Health workers in Venezuela have been suffering the
consequences of the policies of the socialist regime for more than a decade.
The deterioration of the hospitals, the lack of medicines and medical supplies
and a considerable detriment to wages have notably affected the sector, and the
service provided in public institutions. This situation worsened during the
pandemic not only due to the already lacking conditions, but also that health
personnel, first at the forefront of the battle against COVID-19, did not
receive or have received any guarantees to protect their health from the
authorities of the regime.
This Saturday, more than a hundred people, along with
representatives of health workers, marched through the streets of the east of
the Venezuelan capital to demand the massive entry of vaccines and the
dissemination of a transparent vaccination plan designed by experts and
supervised by international organizations.
"We come to demand a vaccination plan prepared by
experts, safe, equitable, fair and with the supervision of international
organizations," said Ana Rosario Contreras, president of the Caracas
College of Nursing, in a statement in front of the United Nations Program
headquarters. United for Development (UNDP).
