Caring for Health After the Earthquake

By CHAMOS | PROJECT LEADER

When two earthquakes struck Venezuela on June 24, 2026, the health needs went beyond the first days of the emergency. Thanks to your support, Chamos built a health response that reached hospitals, rescue teams and whole communities, with children at the center.

In the days after the earthquake we bought medical supplies for hospitals and rescue teams, including a donation to Hospital Vargas. At the Domingo Luciani Hospital in Caracas, we funded new vital-signs monitors, an infusion pump and parts to restore the pediatric and neonatal ICU ventilators.

In La Guaira, together with Somos Comunidad, we provided 100 free pediatric consultations to children affected by the emergency. From July 30 to August 4, with Proyecto Mayu, we held a health clinic in Chuspa, a community that also took in families displaced by the earthquake. Eleven medical specialties provided 1,681 consultations to 514 patients, including 175 children. Patients also received their treatments and mental health support. We also delivered 94 LifeStraw family filters, which now give safe water to 443 people, 160 of them children.

Thank you for making this possible. Please share this project and keep supporting Chamos’s emergency response in Venezuela.

ESPAÑOL

Cuando dos terremotos sacudieron Venezuela el 24 de junio de 2026, las necesidades de salud fueron más allá de los primeros días de la emergencia. Gracias a tu apoyo, Chamos desplegó una respuesta en salud que llegó a hospitales, rescatistas y comunidades enteras, con niños y jóvenes como prioridad.

En los días posteriores al terremoto compramos insumos médicos para hospitales y equipos de rescate, entre ellos una donación al Hospital Vargas. En el Hospital Domingo Luciani de Caracas financiamos nuevos monitores de signos vitales, una bomba de infusión y repuestos para recuperar los ventiladores de la UCI pediátrica y neonatal.

En La Guaira, junto a Somos Comunidad, ofrecimos 100 consultas pediátricas gratuitas a niños afectados por la emergencia. Del 30 de julio al 4 de agosto, con Proyecto Mayu, realizamos una jornada de salud en Chuspa, una comunidad que además recibió a familias desplazadas por el terremoto. Once especialidades médicas ofrecieron 1.681 consultas a 514 pacientes, entre ellos 175 niños. Los pacientes también recibieron sus tratamientos y atención en salud mental. Además, entregamos 94 filtros familiares LifeStraw que hoy dan agua segura a 443 personas, 160 de ellas niños.

Gracias por hacerlo posible. Comparte este proyecto y sigue apoyando la respuesta de emergencia de Chamos en Venezuela.
