Healthcare initiatives in Aragua, Venezuela

Overview

Health initiatives in the Aragua region of Venezuela have expanded from specialized medical campaigns and security training to include mental health support for frontline workers.

In late August, authorities in the Francisco Linares Alcántara municipality conducted medical campaigns at the Centro Clínico La Morita, offering specialties such as neurosurgery, geriatrics, and traumatology to elderly citizens. Concurrently, security personnel at Corposalud Aragua underwent training in conflict resolution and occupational risk prevention.

By mid-September, the focus shifted toward psychosocial support in the Tovar municipality. Health personnel participated in workshops regarding mental health and emotional containment, utilizing the mhGAP protocol and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) SMAPS approach to address care gaps following contingencies experienced earlier in the year.
