Analysis and Summary of the Publication

In Venezuela the number of hospitals and outpatient clinics is so great that in every corner of the country we can find a health group, but what can not be found are medicines, there is a high percentage of medicines in the country that I can assure you that 76% of the country does not have medicines and the places that do have medicines for sale sell them at very high prices, since unfortunately in the country we do not have any supply of medicines.

A few days ago I went to the biggest pharmacy in my city to buy some headache pills, and as I was expecting I did not find anything for the headache, I had to go by bus to two 2 hours of my community to see if I could find them when I arrived at one of the pharmacies I could find the pills but at a crazy price the box of pills was priced at 900Bs.S ($ 10), take into account that the minimum salary in Venezuela is 1,800Bs. That is 50% of my salary.

It's incredible that to be able to buy some simple headache pills in Venezuela is something so difficult.

Hospitals are in a serious situation, since they do not have even 25% of the supply of medicines they need to treat millions of patients who come to these hospitals every day, without forgetting that not only do they need basic medicines, but also medical supplies , from surgical gloves to medical machinery.

It is very serious what is happening in the country, 43% of doctors have left their jobs because the salary they earn does not reach them at all and in many cases a good percentage of doctors do not pay on time and they last for months without receiving your payment.

Medical professionals have held demonstrations for months in rejection of the crisis and shortage of medicines in Venezuela, have taken the decision not to attend hospitals until the government meets their payment and bring medical supplies to all hospitals and clinics in the country .

Imagine a country where they can not be treated by a doctor, imagine going to a pharmacy and not find the medicine they need.

Thousands of people have died due to lack of medication, and thousands of others for lack of medical supplies in hospitals, many of these families affected by the shortage of medicines have opted to travel to the border with the country of Colombia to go to buy the medicine they need, where they have had to travel for more than 24 hours with the concern that their family member does not die, due to the lack of this medication.

This situation is sad, millions of Venezuelans live with fear and with their hearts in their mouths and look with despair for this crisis to end.

Thank you very much for reading my POST I hope you liked it and come back at the next opportunity.
