Hospitals in Anzoategui are without medical supplies

Medics only attending emergencies. Doctors are having to buy medicine, syringes, and gas. They did not have sutures available to treat a girl who cut herself with a bottle.

Cancer patients are sent to another hospital.

The people are complaining but the authorities don't pay attention as they are campaigning for elections. The children's hospital in Piritu does not have pediatricians.
