Venezuela announced this Monday, August 19, the implementation of an epidemiological protocol at airports against monkeypox (mpox).

People entering the country must show a record of medical data that confirms their health status, particularly those travelers who come from countries where there is an outbreak of the disease.

As is known, monkeypox is an infectious disease that can cause “painful rashes, swollen glands and fever in those affected. It is transmitted by close skin-to-skin or skin-to-mucous membrane contact (such as saliva), especially all in sexual relations, or through contaminated objects and puncture wounds.”

The health authorities of Venezuela indicated that they have the medical, technological, scientific capacity, as well as the inter-institutional immediate response teams to promptly confront the situation and guarantee “the diagnosis, medical care, follow-up and monitoring required with the application of the recommendations issued by the WHO.

They added that they are in the process of acquiring the vaccine “which guarantees the strengthening of the epidemiological fence for population groups with high risk of exposure.”

The representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Cristian Morales, announced the development of 32 projects in the health sector with the purpose of strengthening the health system in Venezuela.

Morales said: “We are discussing with the Ministry of Health where the priorities are to be able to intervene in the areas of comprehensive community health; as well as raising management capacities, delivering medicines and supplies, recovering the infrastructure.”

The projects will be offering support in various areas such as: medicines, strengthening the capacities of health centers, such as the Comprehensive Diagnostic Centers (CDI), among others.

Reactivate the pharmaceutical industry

The representative of the WHO and PAHO highlighted the importance of reactivating the country’s pharmaceutical industry to be able to produce the medicines that the population requires and that allow them to improve their health conditions. In his opinion, the country has a fairly strong pharmaceutical industry compared to other countries.

“Not only raise production, not only raise the laboratories where the medicines and vaccines that Venezuela can develop are produced; but also to raise the capacities of the Ministry of Health, of the Institute of Hygiene to be able to ensure that this production is of quality”, he explained.

On the other hand, Morales also referred to the need to optimize the living conditions of workers, who, in his opinion, are working in “very complex conditions” that have worsened as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Morales also confirmed that the WHO, like PAHO, has always supported the country in the “definition, implementation, and supervision of public health policies.”
