Venezuela Releases Data on Health Crisis
委內瑞拉發布健康危機數據
After nearly two years of not revealing any data about its nation's health, Venezuela has released a disturbing report. Since July 2015, malaria cases have increased by 76%. There has also been a sharp increase in maternal and infant deaths. Venezuelan citizens say that they are often turned away from hospitals unless they have their own supplies and medicine. With such a shortage of medical supplies, hospitals have also become a place for thieves. Many patients buy medicine on the black market because it's the only way to get it. There is also a shortage of medical staff. In the past few years, approximately 20% of medical professionals in Venezuela have left the country due to the health crisis.
委內瑞拉近兩年沒有發布任何關于國民健康的數據，最近它發表了一份令人不安的報告。自2015年7約起，瘧疾病例上升了76%。孕產婦死亡和嬰兒死亡率也大幅度上升。委內瑞拉市民稱他們經常被醫院拒接，除非他們自己帶有物資或藥品。醫療物資奇缺，醫院也常被小偷光顧。很多病人都在黑市上購買藥品，因為這是唯一的辦法。醫療人員也緊缺。過去幾年中，委內瑞拉大約有20%的醫療人員因為健康危機而離開了這個國家。
