Laura Dogu, the U.S. top diplomat in the South American country, and Venezuelan diplomat Félix Plasencia received the shipment containing 6 metric tons of medications at the airport outside Venezuela's capital, Caracas. "It's very important to stabilize the health system here in Venezuela," Dogu told reporters at the airport in Maiquetía. She added that the shipment was “the first of many donations” that will arrive in the coming days.” Venezuela's complex crisis, which began more than a decade ago, led to the collapse of the country's public health care system. Hospitals are so poorly equipped that patients are asked to provide supplies needed for their care, from syringes to surgical screws. Plasencia described the donation as a "message of cooperation among two sovereign countries. "We’re doing the best for our people," he said. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
