Venezuela Triggers Mother-Child Program
CARACAS - The Venezuelan government will
apply from this Wednesday the Mother-Child
Attention Program Mission Niño Jesus, which
aim is to guarantee pregnant women safe
births.
The initiative includes prenatal hospitals
to afford expectant mothers a special
treatment around the country.
According to the President Hugo Chavez,
every Venezuelan pregnant woman will have a
decent labor.
We can not allow that expectant mothers do
not know where they will give birth or
receive bad treatments, said Chavez
recently.
Niño Jesus will have a great impact for
women in isolated areas, added the
president.
The Cuban specialists will also back the
initiative as they have done in others
missions like Barrio Adentro to free
healthcare to the Venezuelan people.
Opposition's radical sectors criticized the
mission and said it is a government's
political ploy.
Chavez ignored such accusations.
The left-wing forces also criticized the
Mission Barrio Adentro in 2003 and this
program has save more than 250 thousand
lives, he pointed out. |
