8-11-18.-The directive of the University Hospital of Caracas issued a statement on Wednesday addressed to the staff to inform the rejection of a donation of medicines and medical supplies that was sent by the humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders from Spain.

Pablo Castillo, deputy director of the hospital, did not explain the reason for the refusal by writing, however, the medical staff reported the situation that was rejected by the directive of the medical center.

"Through which you send us a certificate of donation of supplies and medicines from Doctors Without Borders, in this respect, I inform you that by decision of this Directive, you will not receive donations from that organization," reads the written.

It was a shipment with the supplies barely needed to supply the surgery department of the University Hospital of Caracas (HUC) for a month.

The lot arrived at the hospital this Monday, November 5, and contained donations of basic medical supplies: serums, and cans, catheters, sample collectors, among others. The administrative staff of the HUC denied the entry of the material despite the fact that the health center does not have this.

To accept any humanitarian aid would to admit there is a problem with Chavismo. And ask any of the Castroist hierarchy in Venezuela and they will tell you that any problem is minor, and induced by someone/something other than Bolivarian Socialism.
