Through 59 social and comprehensive programs under the Love in Action Plan, Venezuela Mujer, Venezuela Joven, Viva Venezuela Mi Patria Querida (Viva Venezuela, My Beloved Homeland), More Years, More Love, and Health Goes to School, more than 11.300 people were served in the 20 municipalities of Trujillo state during the month of August.
The information was provided by Angélica Morón, regional secretary of the Somos Venezuela Movement, who noted that these social care sessions were promoted by the Hugo Chávez Mission System in conjunction with the Unified Health System in Trujillo state with the support of the Bolivarian government.
She added that a total of 11.350 people -- including children, adolescents, adults, and seniors -- were served with various medical services and care, including dentistry, pediatrics, general medicine, gynecology, cardiology, and laboratory services, as well as nutritional assessments, vaccinations, haircuts, prenatal checkups, preventive talks, legal advice, and recreational activities, among others.
In addition, 230.199 single-dose medications were distributed free of charge through the Ministry of People's Power for Health and the Trujillo Health Foundation (Fundasalud).
"We remain deployed throughout the country to ensure direct and timely care. We thank all the institutions that actively participated in the comprehensive outreach sessions. Thank you for joining forces and contributing to strengthening the health and quality of life of the people of Trujillo," Morón said.
