How are healthcare services in Caracas?

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Caracas, they replied...

"Healthcare services in Caracas, are characterized by a mix of public and private facilities, with the public sector facing significant challenges due to the country's ongoing economic crisis. Public hospitals and clinics in Caracas often suffer from shortages of essential medicines, medical supplies, and equipment, leading to long waiting times and limited access to quality care for many patients. Additionally, the lack of proper maintenance and investment in infrastructure has resulted in deteriorating conditions in many public healthcare facilities. On the other hand, private healthcare services in Caracas tend to offer better quality care, with more modern facilities and better access to medicines and supplies. However, these services are often expensive and out of reach for many Venezuelans, particularly those without private health insurance. Furthermore, the high demand for private healthcare has led to overcrowding and long waiting times in some private facilities. Despite these challenges, healthcare professionals in Caracas, including doctors, nurses, and other medical staff, continue to work tirelessly to provide care for their patients, often under difficult circumstances. Many healthcare workers have also been forced to emigrate due to the crisis, further straining the already limited resources available in the city's healthcare system. In recent years, international organizations and NGOs have stepped in to provide much-needed support to Caracas' healthcare system, including the provision of medical supplies, training for healthcare professionals, and support for vaccination campaigns. However, the ongoing economic and political crisis in Venezuela continues to pose significant challenges to the provision of quality healthcare services in Caracas," wrote a member who made the move to Caracas, Venezuela.
