Mrs. Rosales de Guaidó reported that only during this year 2021, twelve children of the ‘JM de los Ríos’ Nephrology Service (Kidney Disease Dept.) have died and of those, three children have died in less than three days.





The First Lady remembered teenager Niurka Camacho, 15; Winder Rangel, 11; and Jeannys Herrera, just 9; whose lives died without being able to fulfill their dream of living a long and healthy life.

“The patients of the Nephrology Service of the ‘JM de los Ríos’ have been waiting for the reactivation of transplants for more than four years, they suffer from the shortage of supplies and equipment failures,” she assured.
