Maniapure Health Days 2021
Help us mobilize specialists for Maniapure's vulnerable community and care for more than 1,200 patients in two days!
The consequences of the coronavirus pandemic in Maniapure's community can hit their indigenous peoples hard (30% of the population). Respiratory diseases, like covid-19, have long been the leading cause of death among indigenous peoples.
Our project partner ADS Maniapure conducts its "Annual Health Days" every year, which is an initiative where about 100 specialist doctors and medical students are mobilized from other parts of Venezuela to the Maniapure Health Clinic to take care of the local population with specialist skills. All work voluntarily and travel 400 km from the capital Caracas to the very remote area of Maniapure.
The health days have been organized for 13 years and are an important event for the local residents who usually have very difficult access to medical specialists . It is also an opportunity to follow up patients who have met from previous years. Therefore, it has become a popular event that attracts many more every year.
Venezuela has a complex humanitarian crisis and healthcare is non-existent. The importance of the ADS Maniapure health clinic will be even greater for the 10,000 inhabitants in the region.

This project takes care of more than 1200 patients in just two days.
For only SEK 125, 2 patients can be treated. That's what a day's lunch costs in one of Sweden's big cities. With SEK 500, 8 patients can be treated. That's about what a pair of pants costs.
With small funds you can make a real difference!
