Venemergencia, a leading primary healthcare company, opens its sixth emergency room in Venezuela, this time in the city of Barquisimeto, where Venemergencia’s operations base is also located.

The first Urgent Care location opened in Caracas in August 2023, and by the end of April, more than 31,500 patients had been treated across the five locations, with a 97 % satisfaction rate measured by the National Population Fund (NPS). The wait time for care from arrival is less than 10 minutes, and the total length of stay is less than 2.5 hours. They already have two Urgent Care locations in Caracas (Torre Xerox and La Candelaria), one in the Concepto La Viña shopping center in Valencia, and another in Lechería and Maracaibo.

Additionally, they have managed to reduce the average cost of emergency care fivefold (x5). This is an effective and rapid healthcare option available to members of the country’s leading insurance companies, making Venemergencia a reliable and robust partner that guarantees the proper functioning of the healthcare system based on a value-based care model.

Dr. Andrés Simón González Silén, CEO of Venemergencia, referred to the work of this 100% Venezuelan company in the healthcare sector as a testament to the fact that “nothing extraordinary is done alone. We have been building solutions together for 20 years, with the best team and the best allies, to provide Venezuelans with quality healthcare options, with a human focus and social impact. Opening Urgent Care’s sixth location demonstrates our ability to execute and our willingness to invest in our country, and doing so in Barquisimeto is truly special.”

For his part, Dr. Luis Enrique Velásquez, Director of Operations at Venemergencia, highlighted that 25 % of the cases treated in Urgent Care rooms have been trauma, followed by acute viral syndrome and lower respiratory tract infections. He specified that 92 % of the cases treated were resolved without the need for referral to an emergency room. “This is more than a business model; it’s the embodiment of our purpose: to provide more and better access to healthcare for Venezuelans. Giving this option to the residents of Barquisimeto and nearby towns fills us with pride.”

The inauguration was moderated by María Laura García, a journalist specializing in health coverage, and was attended by journalists, local businesspeople, and prominent doctors from Barquisimeto. It was preceded by several meetings with insurance brokers. The event featured the outstanding participation of a group of musicians from the Jacinto Lara group of El Sistema, who delighted attendees with their performances. This was part of the institutional alliance between the Venemergencia Foundation and El Sistema.

Venemergencia’s next Urgent Care location will open in September in Maracay, Aragua state. A network of allies is also being consolidated, allowing it to expand the reach of this value-based care model to more cities across the country.

A new page is being written between El Sistema and Bancamiga, to establish lines of mutual collaboration that continue to transform society, and especially to provide the necessary support for the development of children and young people who make up the more than 400 centers throughout the country.

This agreement signed by the executive director of El Sistema, Eduardo Méndez, and the president of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga, José Simón Elarba, is the formalization of a relationship that has been brewing for some time. Through it, cooperation activities will be promoted in the field of cultural and educational action.

For Méndez, this alliance is a favorable way to add support to the organization, which is already celebrating its 50th anniversary, with its sights set on the coming decades. The commitment is to provide a future for youth based on the musical excellence that El Sistema promotes and that has been emulated in more than 70 countries.

For his part, the President of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga highlighted the importance of El Sistema, considering that it is one of the few national institutions that enjoys total acceptance throughout the country.

El Sistema supported by Bancamiga continues to consolidate the support of strategic alliances

“It is interesting to be able to contribute, because I believe that El Sistema is one of the things that all Venezuelans are most proud of and that unites us,” he said.

Elarba considered that this cooperation agreement between both institutions reaffirms the plans that they have been working hard on for a long time, and that will lead them to realize large-scale social and artistic events in 2025, especially framed in the anniversary celebration of El Sistema.

For Bancamiga, working together with the musical institution is essential to reaffirm its social commitment to the country, by supporting its purpose of transforming society by reorienting education and helping children and young people to acquire knowledge, skills, talent, values ​​and behaviors necessary for their development.

El Sistema —after five decades of existence— continues to consolidate the support of strategic alliances that allow this movement to continue for many more years playing, singing, fighting and making music for everyone.
