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.

Cryptocurrency-based financial services company BlockFi, which has filed for bankruptcy before US authorities, has been cleared by the bankruptcy court to sell its crypto mining equipment and other physical assets in order to raise around $5 million dollars.

The assets will be sold at an auction in which there was a lot of interest for the physical equipment. Part of the assets will be acquired by an entity called US Farms.

It should be noted that the firm received authorization at the end of January to organize the auction. At the time, BlockFi’s lawyer claimed that they were interested in doing so as soon as possible, to take advantage of the current interest among mining companies and services to get hold of their high-end equipment.

Although the estimated price of the devices in his possession was around $160 million, the associated value has dropped dramatically over the last year due to many of these being ASIC machines. It is important to mention that the US managed a rather incisive policy on cryptomining activities, promoting the use of renewable energies and trying to mitigate the carbon footprint they generate.

BlockFi continues with its bankruptcy process to gather sufficient assets and honor commitments made to creditors and users who were affected by the insolvency it went through in 2022. In January of this year, the court granted permission to BlockFi to use part of its capital and make more competitive salary proposals to its workers.

The governments of Iran and Venezuela are negotiating a contract to repair the Paraguaná Refining Complex (CRP), considered the largest oil refiner in the country and once one of the most important in the global arena.

Sources close to the negotiation indicated: “In about a year, Iran should be able to bring its people to Paraguaná (…) They have been very focused on the preparations, including housing for the workers.”

The Paraguaná Center, also known as CRP, has a capacity of 955,000 barrels per day and is made up of the Amuay and Cardón refineries, located on the Paraguaná Peninsula in the Falcón state of Venezuela.

According to some independent statistics, the CRP registered operations for the month of April of 17 % of its capacity.

Iranian supplies

According to data released in various media, the Iranian state companies provided the Venezuelan authorities with equipment and instruments that made it easier for the Caribbean country to activate the gasoline manufacturing unit in the CRP.

The equipment was transferred from China, after the “Iranian” companies handled the procurement and transportation.

On the other hand, Iran has provided Venezuela with some “fuels and diluents” to obtain the grades of crude necessary to export. In addition, it has supplied spare parts and equipment since 2020 in order to restore and renew the refining network and raise it to “1.3 million barrels per day.

Recently Niordc, the unit of the state-owned Iranian National Oil Refining and Distribution Company, signed a contract for 110 million euros, equivalent to 116 million dollars, with PDVSA in order to “repair and expand the El Palito refinery” which has a capacity of 146,000 barrels per day and is located in the central region of the country.
