The President of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga, José Simón Elarba, affirms that “investing in health is a fundamental pillar for the country’s development.” This is why, with its Social Responsibility strategy, the bank reaffirms its commitment to Venezuela and the well-being of Venezuelans by completing four years of sustained support for the Dr. Domingo Luciani Hospital.

This strategic alliance has enabled the modernization of equipment, infrastructure improvements, and the strengthening of surgical capacity at one of the country’s most important healthcare centers, benefiting thousands of people who visit this medical institution, Elarba adds.

Since 2023, the financial institution has focused its efforts on equipping the hospital with cutting-edge technology and specialized tools, understanding that health is a fundamental area of ​​care.

“Bancamiga’s history of contributions to the hospital reflects planned management oriented toward the critical needs of the healthcare center, helping to guarantee access to the human right to health,” emphasizes the Chairman of the Bank’s Board of Directors.

The financial institution began this social responsibility policy with the donation of a translucent surgical bed and a high-tech resectoscope for procedures in the urology and gynecology departments.

The hospital was also provided with 93 pieces of stainless steel surgical instruments (manufactured in Germany) and a specialized kit for the bariatric surgery program. In addition, infrastructure recovery plans were initiated, and direct banking services were provided to medical personnel at their workplaces.

Ongoing support

In 2024, Bancamiga’s efforts focused on two other strategic areas. The institution donated three boxes of specialized surgical instruments for traumatology and orthopedics, areas of extremely high demand in both emergency and elective surgeries.

Another important milestone was the donation of 42 pieces of radiation protection equipment (lead aprons, masks, and goggles, among others), ensuring the safety of medical personnel and patients in the radiology department, as well as during medium- and high-complexity procedures.

The following year, the provision of equipment to the health center included three-position electric beds and multiparameter monitors for monitoring vital signs. Furthermore, a state-of-the-art lesion generator was delivered, enabling pain management through frequency radiation therapy, an innovative therapeutic option for patients at the Domingo Luciani Hospital.

José Simón Elarba emphasizes that “in 2026, Bancamiga maintained its support for the hospital, contributing decisively to the operational efficiency of the surgical area” by carrying out specialized repair and maintenance work on the operating room climate control system.

This project—which included preventive and corrective maintenance of the cooling units—guarantees asepsis and optimal conditions in the surgical area, ensuring the continuity of procedures and the operational capacity of the healthcare center.

“Our mission goes beyond offering financial services. With our social commitment, we seek to positively transform the environment where we operate. The Domingo Luciani Hospital is a benchmark for healthcare, and Bancamiga is proud to invest in the health of Venezuelans and contribute to ensuring that its medical staff has the necessary tools to save lives,” he stated.

A human focus

Beyond the equipment, Bancamiga’s commitment has had a human face. Over the years, executives and brand ambassadors have visited the facilities, especially the pediatric ward, bringing messages of hope and joy to the children hospitalized there.

With these actions, Bancamiga reaffirms its commitment to social investment as a long-term endeavor, focused on expanding access to healthcare and strengthening the institutions that serve Venezuelans.

Since the beatification of José Gregorio Hernández was announced in Rome in 2020, Bancamiga remains a firm ally in his canonization process. And this Friday it deployed a module on its Internet Banking so that bank customers collaborate with said Cause.

It is an easy and fast mechanism, customers only have to enter Bancamiga en Línea and through the module with the figure of the so-called Doctor of the Poor make their donation.

For those people who are not Bancamiga clients and are interested in supporting the canonization, they can also do so safely at www.bancamiga.com.

The parish priest and rector of the Nuestra Señora de La Candelaria sanctuary, Gerardino Barracchini, said that the office of vice postulation has been working on different initiatives related to the process, which require financial resources.

He mentioned activities such as the musical Las cartas de JGH, exhibitions at JGH’s house, preparation of the relics of the second degree and their dissemination material, payment of the staff of the vice-postulation office, as well as the legitimate commitments that are necessary in Rome.

As part of the process that is being carried out for his canonization, at the end of May it is expected to have the appointment of the two medical experts who will be part of the medical commission, which “is the first step in the miracle file.”

“The medical commission is the one that defines the path that the file of the alleged miracle will take. If everything goes well, the positive votes are received and the doctors unanimously have no way of explaining the alleged miraculous event, we will go to the meeting of theologians whose purpose is to study how the invocation was made”.

“We have always felt support and closeness to initiatives related to canonization. The Sanctuary of La Candelaria and I, as vice postulator, am deeply grateful to Bancamiga and to all those who have been involved in this beautiful task, which has to do with our name. Reaching the sanctification of JGH will be the crystallization and the desire that Venezuelans have had in their hearts for many years,” he added.

In this process, Bancamiga also accompanied the Nueva Ruta del Beato in July of last year, a family walk that started from the Nuestra Señora de La Candelaria church in Caracas. During the tour, the image and relics of José Gregorio Hernández were transported, with the purpose of distributing blessings so that union, love and prayer prevail on the path to his canonization.

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney stated that the city is ready to partner with the CityCoins donation program to address the city’s challenges and boost its treasury with cryptocurrencies.

CityCoins is a software application on the Stacks (STX) blockchain that makes it easy for municipal authorities to create a unique cryptocurrency that executes transactions on Stacks and is settled on the Bitcoin network.

Mark Wheeler, Philadelphia Chief Information Officer and Bitcoin (BTC) supporter announced through his twitter account that “Philadelphia is ready to start working with CityCoins.” He stressed that he would initiate inquiries into the legal guidelines that allow him to ensure any association with CityCoins is within the current laws regarding cryptocurrencies.

On the other hand, the official indicated that this application does not require users to use any additional hardware that could cause damage to the environment. “I think we can just say this is not Bitcoin and it doesn’t require installing new servers or being power intensive.”

CityCoins reaches other US cities

CityCoins already has a presence in other cities in the United States developing cryptocurrencies. Among them, the cities of New York and Miami stand out, which are already using the Stacks blockchain software to increase their treasury reserves. About 30 % of the mined STX tokens are sent to the city wallet and then sold for dollars, which go directly to the city treasury. The miners keep the rest.

Last August, Miami launched its MiamiCoin with CityCoins with the purpose of raising funds that, according to the city’s mayor, Francis Suárez, could be used to cover the tax burden of all its residents.

For its part, the city of New York launched its NYCCoin in a partnership with CityCoins last November. Using the same methodology as MiamiCoin, NYCCoin miners receive STX and BTC rewards for supplying tokens to the city.

Other cities such as Austin and Texas have already made the alliance, but have not started mining.
