The support provided to the centers is of considerable importance: between 2019 and the first quarter of 2024, 812 pieces of equipment were donated and 417 repaired, in various health centers, mainly in Caracas, Miranda, Aragua, Bolívar, Apure, Táchira and Zulia. Both donations and equipment repairs were essential in ensuring that 1,021,036 people were treated in emergency and primary health care services where they received medical care that prevented them from dying or developing lasting consequences.
Among the main equipment donated are skin equipment in case of burns), electrocardiographs (to measure the activity of the heart), oxygen concentrators (used in patients with breathing difficulties), as well as spare parts and consumables.
Biomedical equipment ensures high quality patient care and treatment and, when functioning properly, can make the difference between life and death.
