“Today we celebrate the Children’s Cardiological Hospital and its more than 15,400 children who have undergone successful procedures. Behind every figure is a life, a family and a new opportunity to smile,” she posted on social media.
“We continue moving forward: the modernization of its equipment has already been approved to strengthen specialized care. Twenty years of love, science, and commitment to life. Venezuela is reborn!” Rodriguez added.
The Rodriguez Ochoa Hospital has established itself as one of the main specialized public centers for treating cardiovascular diseases in children and adolescents in Venezuela.
Over these 20 years, the hospital has provided specialized care to thousands of children and young people, as well as developed programs focused on the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of cardiovascular diseases.
During her visit to the Children’s Cardiological Hospital, Venezuelan President Rodriguez recognized the work of doctors, nurses, specialists, technical personnel, and workers who have been part of the institution over the past two decades.
“This Children’s Cardiological Hospital makes Venezuela, the beat of its heart, stronger. Because every time we save a boy or girl, it is giving life back to a child and returning hope to a mother, a father, a family,” she said.
Rodriguez also referred to special plans implemented to respond to medical care demands and overcome difficulties associated with the economic blockade. She pointed out the speed and operational capacity of the medical response provided by the specialized center.
“At the Children’s Cardiological Hospital there is no waiting list. The children, boys and girls, and young people who arrive know that, at most, they will have to wait three or four weeks to receive a response to the heart condition that has arisen.”
