Brazils government will send urgently needed supplies for dialysis patients in Venezuela after a U.S. bombing destroyed a center responsible for renal treatment and medicine distribution. The announcement was made on Monday (5) by Health Minister Alexandre Padilha during a press conference in Brasília.
We are mobilizing, through our public health system and in coordination with private companies in Brazil, dialysis supplies and essential medicines, Padilha said. This is humanitarian support for the Venezuelan people, whose distribution center was attacked.
According to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the U.S. airstrike destroyed a facility in the state of La Guaira that served both as a medicine depot and a treatment center for kidney patients.
Padilha stressed the humanitarian and reciprocal nature of the assistance. He recalled that during the collapse of oxygen supplies in Manaus at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Venezuela sent 135,000 cubic meters of oxygen to Brazil to save lives. In 2021, the Venezuelan government coordinated directly with Amazonas state authorities to deliver oxygen trucks, after Brazils federal government at the time refused to accept the aid.
