Venezuela’s failing hospitals lack reliable power and water supplies, according to an article on The New York Times website.
At the University of the Andes Hospital there is not enough water to wash blood from the operating table,
Late last fall, the aging pumps that supplied water to the hospital exploded and were not repaired for months.
So without water, gloves, soap or antibiotics, a group of surgeons prepared to remove an appendix that was about to burst, even though the operating room was still covered in another patient’s blood, the article said.
