Human Rights Watch is...watching
how Venezuela treats its citizens, in time for May Day;
...we have rarely seen access to essential medicines deteriorate as quickly as it has in Venezuela except in war zones.
What happened to all those Cuban doctors imported to help?
At the end of 2014, public hospitals were wait-listing approximately
20,000 patients for surgery, including 4,000 at the University Hospital
of Caracas, according to Doctors for Health. In January, after more than
10 patients waiting for surgery reportedly died
there, the hospital closed its cardiology unit and sent the remaining
patients home. The unit briefly reopened in February after media
coverage of the deaths led health authorities to provide some new
supplies of medications, doctors told us. But it closed again two weeks
later.
What, we worry?
