Panic sets in as Venezuela nurses resign en masse.

Chaotic! ... Patients with kidney failure are treated alone in the Jayor Dialysis Unit



The situation with the health sector in the country is increasingly critical, nurses have 22 days of protests and mass resignations to health centers and the Bolivarian Government continues to evade the problem.

People suffering from a disease in the country, it becomes increasingly difficult to get an ambulatory, hospital or health center that has the staff and supplies needed to be served and wages are not enough to attend a private clinic.

Such is the case of people suffering from renal failure and due to the resignations of nurses in the Jayor Dialysis Unit, located in San Martín, they have decided to connect by themselves to the machines without the supervision of a doctor or specialist in the area. .

Through the social network Twitter, the activist for Human Rights, Francisco Valencia published what is currently happening in the health center.

Maduro says he hasn't the money to pay nurses more... because he just blew his financial wad by increasing the wages of his military officers by 3000%.

Hey... nurses aren't going to keep Maduro in power...
