Venezuela
Medical care for the poorest
Thousands of needy people live in the dock area of La Guaira in the Venezuelan state of Vargas. Bayer donates medicines for these people, thus ensuring basic medical care in the neighborhood.
Most of the dockside population of La Guaira lives in great poverty, and these circumstances are particularly hard on the approximately 2,000 children in the neighborhood. They often suffer from deficiencies, infections and parasite infestation. Assistance is provided by a facility supported by Bayer in Venezuela — the medical service of the dockyard fire department. Thanks in part to drug donations from Bayer, the doctors and caregivers of the fire department are able to provide the required treatment to impoverished patients.
