PPE for Venezuelan Doctors VENEMEDEX

Donation protected
COVID-19 pandemic is a medical, humanitarian and economic crisis. VeneMedEx is committed to contribute to minimize the effects of this pandemic among Venezuelan people. We are currently collecting funds to help provide personal protective equipment ( PPE) to physicians and healthcare workers in Venezuelan hospitals. 

VeneMedEx is a medical-humanitarian organization formed by health-professionals of Venezuelan origin currently living abroad. Our organization has been founded as a non-profit with no ties to any political institution or government. Our main objective is to work towards the betterment of the health of all Venezuelans. The present and worrisome situation of the health-care system in Venezuela demands the compromise and unity of all Venezuelans that have been trained to work for the health, well-being and development of our society.

Above all else and the distance that physically separates us from our country, our organization has set as a goal to raise medical and financial resources, as well to raise awareness of the current reality of the health services in Venezuela. We believe that these actions brings us closer to the Venezuelan people and allows us to work hand-on-hand with our Venezuelan colleagues so we may contribute with essential resources required for
the appropriate practice of medicine.

Venezuela is currently facing a humanitarian crisis and one of the main problems is the shortage of medicine and medical supplies.  

The Venezuela National Hospitals survey in 2016 conducted by the NGO Physicians for Health (Médicos por la Salud) in collaboration with the National Health Observatory Center for Development Studies (CENDES) of the Central University of Venezuela was recently published. The results are alarming and showed a shortage of essential medicines in public hospitals of 76% and medical equipment of 81%. (http://enh2016.blogspot.com.es/)

Motivated by the alarming figures presented by the latest national hospitals survey,  we have a special interest in serving as a channel to facilitate the collection of donations , medicine and medical supplies. To this end, the project focuses not only on the collection and delivery of medicines and supplies but in establishing partnerships with local doctors working in health centers in those areas that are most affected and undeserved. These strategic partnership will guarantee the proper use and distribution of the aid they receive.

 Help us make and difference. Help us save lives!!! 


Actualmente Venezuela enfrenta una crisis humanitaria y uno de los principales problemas en el ámbito de la salud es la escasez de medicamentos y de material médico quirúrgico.

Recientemente se publicó la encuesta Nacional de Hospitales 2016, realizada por la ONG Médicos por la Salud, en colaboración con el Observatorio Nacional de Salud del Centro de Estudios del Desarrollo (CENDES) de la Universidad Central de Venezuela. Esta refleja que la escasez de medicamentos en los hospitales públicos asciende al 76% y la de material médico-quirúrgico al 81% (http://enh2016.blogspot.com.es/)

VeneMedEx es una organización de acción médico-humanitaria conformada por profesionales de la salud venezolanos, actualmente residenciados en el  extranjero.

Nuestra organización tiene carácter no gubernamental y su principal objetivo consiste en trabajar por mejorar la salud de los venezolanos. La gravísima situación asistencial en Venezuela demanda el compromiso y la unidad de todos los venezolanos que se han formado para contribuir con la salud, el bienestar y
desarrollo de nuestra sociedad.

Por encima de las distancias que nos separan físicamente del país, nuestra organización se ha propuesto la recaudación de recursos médicos, inancieros y la divulgación de la actual realidad sanitaria en Venezuela, lo que nos permite acercarnos y responder a las actuales necesidades del pueblo venezolano. De igual manera nos permite trabajar de la mano con nuestros colegas en Venezuela y contribuir con recursos indispensables necesarios para el adecuado ejercicio de lamedicina.

Motivados por estas alarmantes cifras, tenemos especial interés en servir como un canal que facilite la recolección de donaciones y él envió de medicamentos e insumos médicos. Para tal fin, el proyecto se centra no sólo en la recolección y envío de medicinas e insumos sino en establecer alianzas con médicos locales en los centros de salud afectados, que se comprometan a la distribución gratuita y el buen uso de las ayudas que reciban.
