26-02-18.- Workers of the Hospital José Ignacio Baldó, better known as "El Algodonal", protested this Monday on the streets to denounce poor infrastructure conditions as well as lack of medicine supplies and low salaries, the journalist Vanessa García published on her Twitter account.
The hospital located in Antímano, in Caracas, declared a technical breakdown before the emergency situation due to the lack of supplies for the treatment of patients.
One of the nurses denounced bad conditions of the hospital. She warned the staff and crew would summon a national protest in case of not having any response by the government.
"The invite is: Let's summon one day of a national protest. Let it be heard even in Tucupita (Capital of the State Delta Amacuro, in the far east coast of Venezuela). The health personnel is demanding the government to be responsible. We are the ones who face the patients. We are the ones who suffer from the aggressions, and we are the ones who are not even allowed the needs to be satisfied!",t she said for the Web Site Caraota Digital.
Another worker declared the treatments are half fulfilled, due to the lack of medicines supply.
"There are patients who need a gastric protector, and the treatment is incomplete", a female doctor declared to Globovisión.
The doctors declared to be working half. They don't count with any ambulance service, and their salaries are very low.
"The doctors are the ones who have struggled to keep the equipments. There is nothing to keep the medical machinery. We currently ask the relatives to nuy blood for not having any blood reagend. I only had Bs 800,000 (Approx $4) for my vacations. That only pays for two pounds of cheese and eggs", she said.
"We are starving", she concluded.
