00:17Hello, join us. We are going to talk about Venezuela. Doctors from the Barrio Adentro
00:22mission are present in the temporary camps to provide care for those affected by the June 24th
00:29as well. Correspondent Melinda Los Santos is there and has more details from Caracas.
00:35Hello, studios. How are you? We're here in the Francisco Pimentel transitory camp in a special
00:41day, a day of integral healthcare attention. We have been reporting on the importance of the
00:48healthcare attention that people in this transitory camp are receiving from moment one. Since they
00:55come here, there are specialized doctors who are caring for the entire population that
01:01are making up this and other transitory camps. But today is a special day because specialists
01:06from different areas are coming here to continue that healthcare assistance. If you have patients,
01:14for example, and other areas who are caring for the people who were most affected by the
01:20between earthquakes up to 24th, we talked to some of them. And you know, this is part of
01:26the Barrio Adentro mission, the special mission designed by Venezuela and Cuba in order to provide
01:32a close medical assistance to the entire population in every territory. And actually, doctors from
01:39the Cuban Medical Brigade who work in Venezuela have been working for years as they have done
01:45so in many other nations. They are here right now providing that assistance after the earthquake.
01:51We talked to some of them, pediatricians in this case, and this is what they told us.
01:57It's a very complex moment for human beings. A change in which nature produced a procedure that
02:06we are not all prepared for from birth to the present moment, how to deal with. And of course,
02:11there is an alteration in the cognitive processes of why it has happened and what situation has been
02:16created for me from this moment on. Therefore, the accompaniment that we carry out is from the
02:21spiritual, from medical science, for the emotional support of these people. Talking to people would be
02:27the first medication that we can solve for them. Because their spirit is strengthened, their soul is
02:33strengthened, the continuity of continuing to live in this world of Venezuela is strengthened, and we are in the
02:39best disposition to give them that love, that affection that they deserve. Language is the expression of
02:45how a human being is. If he is well strengthened emotionally, if all his processes are working,
02:51then there is our work of orientation, of specification, of how we are going to face the situation that is
02:56presenting itself at this moment.
03:02Really, for the first time in my life, at my age, I live such a disastrous moment like that.
03:11Really, that marked my mind, marked my way of thinking. And really, far from feeling fear at this moment,
03:17I really feel committed every day to provide that little bit of sand, not only me, but the Cuban
03:23medical mission here in Venezuela, to commit ourselves every day with the mission that brought
03:28us here, which is to provide health to the Venezuelan people.
03:34Those were the words of some of the Cuban doctors active here right now in Venezuela after the
03:40earthquakes and the importance of what they were highlighting as the emotional support. It's not
03:47just the physical attention at the hands of the physicians who are working here, in this case,
03:53Cubans, but also, of course, from Venezuela and from every other nation who brought their
03:58professionals here to Venezuela, but also the emotional support, listening and talking to all those
04:05people, trying to accompany them through a very difficult time. And that is part of the healing,
04:13the recovery process after the traumatic events of June 24th. So that is a little bit of what is
04:19happening here. We continue going through the different transitory camps, trying to capture the essence
04:25of what is happening in Venezuela three weeks after the earthquakes. I go back to you now.
04:33Thank you, Belen. That was our correspondent, Belen de los Santos, from a temporary camp in Caracas,
04:40Venezuela, after the back-to-back earthquakes that shocked the country on June 24th. We have been
04:46seeing how a dignified moment for all of those affected is evolving in the capital of Venezuela after
04:54this tragedy, the greatest tragedy left by the nation in the past years. So,
05:00stay tuned with Telesuri English for more information on this matter.
