As the experiment to transform Venezuela from a market-based to a socialist economy continues unabated, the country is devolving further into chaos, with shortages of common commodities and medicines spreading like the unrest gripping larger parts of the South American nation.
As reported by OZY.com, a recent tweet characterized just how bad the situation has gotten, in terms of the availability of life-saving drugs and other medical treatments.
The website noted:
It’s a tweet that ultimately fell on deaf ears: “#ServicioPublico Infalgan solution of 10 Mg for injection is needed for Vanessa Chacon.” Sent from San Rafael del Piñal, a small town in Venezuela near the border with Colombia, the tweet was sent on behalf of Chacon, 22, who needed the medicine to survive a severe coronary condition. Unfortunately, it’s simply not available there — and isn’t likely to be anytime soon.
“My niece is very sick. We haven’t been able to locate the drug in pharmacies or in hospitals,” Nelson Jaimes, who is Chacon’s uncle and, ironically, a pharmacist, told the website. “We who are inside the pharma business can’t locate the products. What can a regular citizen expect to find?”
Apparently, not much more.
“We have to stay open, no matter what”
