"Venezuela is deep into a humanitarian crisis -- people are dying in ill-equipped hospitals and many live without basic food items.
Three-year-old Ashley Pacheco sucks on her thumb as she rests in a hospital bed during her two-month stay at University Hospital in Caracas, Venezuela. As the health care system collapses, the tiniest slips, like Ashley’s tumble while chasing her brother in mid-July, turned into a life-or-death crisis when her scraped knee led to a staph infection.
If Venezuela has become dangerous for the healthy, it is now deadly for those who fall ill.
One in three people admitted to public hospitals last year died, the government reports. The number of operational hospital beds has fallen by 40% since just 2014. And as the economy fails, the country is running short on 85% of medicines, according to the national drugstore trade group.
“I really don’t know of any other country where things have deteriorated so quickly, to such an incredible extent,” said Rafael Perez-Escamilla, a Yale University School of Public Health professor who has worked in Latin America and Africa. “Venezuela’s health system was a model for Latin America. Now you are seeing an implosion where people cannot get basic care.”"
Notas pessoais:
O verdadeiro comunismo é isto: A igualdade da pobreza, da miséria, e da desgraça.
É só uma questão de lhes dar tempo para governar/subverter, e a desgraça é INEVITÁVEL.
