👉 Venezuela has faced a severe public health crisis marked by widespread infections, primarily due to a combination of factors including economic collapse, political instability, and a lack of healthcare resources. The country's economic downturn has led to shortages of essential medicines, vaccines, and medical supplies, exacerbating the spread of infectious diseases such as dengue fever, Zika virus, and, more recently, COVID-19. Additionally, the breakdown of public health infrastructure has hindered effective disease surveillance and response efforts. This has resulted in high infection rates and significant morbidity and mortality, particularly among vulnerable populations like children and the elderly. The government's limited capacity to address these challenges has further compounded the issue, making it difficult to control outbreaks and maintain public health standards.
