To work in Venezuela is extremely challenging. We choose our partners carefully on the ground based on a series of strict criteria. Dr Andrés Ortiz plays a crucial role for us.
Andrés is a practicing doctor based in Caracas, Venezuela. He is both a General Practitioner and a Gastroenterologist. Graduated from Universidad Central de Venezuela, he has published several papers in Venezuelan and international journals. Andrés is a member of the Board of the Venezuelan Society of Gastroenterology.
In his capacity, Andrés provides on-site assurance that Healing Venezuela's programmes are executed properly.
Our partners on the ground are vetted with a set of criteria to ensure transparency and commitment. We ask our beneficiaries to sign an agreement to guarantee that the material we donate will be used by medical professionals; and the shipments we send are verified against the original inventory once they arrive. We include a UK newspaper inside the boxes and it is then placed alongside a photograph of a Venezuelan newspaper to prove that the item has arrived in Venezuela.
There are many ways to contact us, through social media, subscribing to our newsletter, or writing to us directly at: info@healingvenezuela.co.uk
Healing Venezuela is run by volunteers only, with no political or religious affiliation. Healing Venezuela is a UK Registered Charity: Charity number: 1170709 Registered in England and Wales.
