As seen in photos: Inside Venezuela Hospital where 7 children die each day



Soon after President Nicolas Maduro claimed Venezuela is the best healthcare in the world, a New York Times photographer, has taken a glimpse of inside some of the hospitals. The country has been experienced economic collapse since oil prices plummeted, the photos from the hospital show how devastated it has been for the citizens.


The Luis Razetti Hospital in the portal city of Barcelona looks like a war zone.  Patients can be seen balancing themselves on half-broken beds with days-old blood dried up on their bodies. They're the lucky ones; most are curled up on the floor, blood streaming, limbs blackening. Children lie among dirty cardboard boxes in the hallways without food, water
or medication. Without electricity or functioning machines, medics have had to create their own solutions. Two men who had surgery on their legs have their limbs elevated by makeshift slings made out of water bottles.
