A US shipment of medicine to Venezuela signals a new era of cooperation

The donation aims to stabilize Venezuela's collapsed health system, with officials calling it the first of many shipments totaling 6 metric tons of medical supplies.

  • At Maiquetía airport outside Caracas, the U.S. delivered 6 tons of medical supplies, and Laura Dogu and Félix Plasencia received the cargo.
  • Because the health system collapsed, hospitals in Venezuela face shortages and ask patients to supply basic medical materials, reflecting a decade-long crisis.
  • Loaded with medicines, the cargo aimed to help stabilize Venezuela's health system, as U.S. top diplomat Dogu said at Maiquetía airport.
  • Plasencia called the gift `a message of cooperation among two sovereign countries`, while officials said it was `the first of many donations` expected in the coming days.
  • The move positions the United States as reflecting a new spirit of cooperation after last month's capture of then-President Nicolás Maduro, with supplies aimed to stabilize Venezuela's health system.
