Free health day attended more than 200 Venezuelans and Ecuadorians in the north of Guayaquil

The representative of the organization thanked the contribution of Fusoe and the constant support of the Ecuadorian Red Cross, the Permanent Committee for the Defense of Human Rights (CDH) in Guayaquil and the Fundación Paz y Esperanza, with which it is possible to carry out these days.
“We are showing that this type of pandemic activities can be carried out in an organized manner, while maintaining social distancing. It is a way of doing things right. In times of pandemic, people also need medical attention ”, he remarked.
Eugenio Yulee, president of Fusoe, stressed that he will maintain support for these social aid efforts, and said that health is one of the greatest needs that foreigners have in the country, especially Venezuelans, due to the economic and political crisis that lives that nation.

“As we have always done, we always attend to these issues of social assistance (…). It is certain that soon they will be seeing other medical brigades in other sectors that have Venezuelans and I am willing to attend ”.
Iliana Atencio, one of the patients, thanked for the care received, including that of her son with visual impairment, who in the next few days will receive his corrective lenses.
“May they continue to have blessings so that all this continues for the well-being of others, both Venezuelans and Ecuadorians.”
