Venezuela – Hospital Crises for Women, Men, and Babies

Last year, in Venezuela, pregnant women were turned away from hospitals even after their water break. Five hospitals refused to help a twenty-year-old pregnant woman!  In the end, the fifth hospital decided to help her after she fainted.  However, shortly after the birth, the baby died.

Another pregnant woman went to twelve hospitals before finally been admitted into one!  Her baby would also die shortly afterwards.

Additionally, Darwin Maiquetia’s wife Kenny Chirinos died on the 20th of January last year after developing an infection after a cesarean section in a hospital.  Mr. Maiquetia said, “The level of anger I have is not normal.”  Also, “They’re destroying families, destroying lives.”

Brazil – Home of the most “Uncontacted People”

I really don’t know the reason why. However, whenever I hear about an uncontacted group of people living in the forested area, my mind is always blown.  There are so many questions that run through my mind about them. Nevertheless, this is not about me. It is about Brazil, and in this country’s forested areas, there are about 100 tribes or groups of people living there.  Brazilian National Indian Foundation is responsible for their care from the outside world.    Note https://www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/uncontacted-brazil https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/brazils-funai-calls-army-to-help-protect-isolated-indigenous-tribes/
