In Venezuela in South America the hospitals are in trouble .Here in the Caribbean port town of Barcelona, two premature infants died recently on the way to the main public clinic because the ambulance had no oxygen tanks. The hospital has no fully functioning X-rays or kidney dialysismachines because they broke long ago. And because there are no open beds, some patients lie on the floor in pools of their blood.It is a battlefield clinic in a country where there is no war.Some come here healthy, and they leave dead. Doctors try and keep people alive by hand pumping air in there lungs. When I find out about things like this it makes me very upset. As a global citizen I feel that we should be doing everything we can to help make new hospitals. We should be doing everything in our power to help these people. People who live in wealthy developed countries should be helping by sending doctors to help the sick who are not getting medical attention needed and money to buy new machinery. Young people like me should get this out to their friends and tell people about it because this is an issue that needs to be solved.
