CARACAS AREA HEALTH FACILITIES AND SPECIALISTS

GENERAL INFORMATION
Be Informed!
It is advised that you get to know your family doctor and the location of the recommended health
facilities in Caracas before you need them. This information will be helpful to you in the event of an
emergency. A list of local physicians as well as recommended health facilities is included in this
Handbook. Take the time to familiarize yourself with the services available!
Local Medical Facilities
Caracas has many excellent hospitals, physicians, laboratories, and diagnostic testing capabilities in the
private sector; however, the public sector has been in crisis for some time. Many public facilities lack
basic supplies and equipment so it is not advisable to use the public hospitals for any of your health care
needs. The term hospital is generally reserved for a public government-administered institution, which
provides free or inexpensive care to low-income persons. The term clinica is used for a private facility
which has both inpatient and outpatient services. All of the facilities recommended in this handbook are
private clinics.
Hospitalization in Venezuela
If overseas hospitalization should occur, it is reassuring to know that English-speaking physicians who
have done graduate studies in the U.S., Canada, or Europe offer excellent medical care in Caracas,
frequently. Hospitalization in Venezuela is very different from that obtained in the United States.
Despite the availability of high quality medical care, nursing care is often inadequate and of poor quality.
It is frequently expected that a family member will stay with the patient overnight to provide assistance
as hospitals are poorly staffed at night. In private hospitals, each room has an extra couch/bed for just
this purpose. Hospital staff will provide extra bedding for the family member (the acompaante), and
you will be billed for this service.
Ambulance Services Health
Rescarven and Ayuda 24 are the recommended private ambulance services. Medical personnel are on
board of each ambulance. In order to use their ambulance services, each member of your family must
be registered with Rescarven or Ayuda 24 in advance.
Local Pharmacies and Medications
Pharmacies (Farmacias) are widely available throughout Caracas. Each sector of town has at least one
pharmacy open 24 hours a day for emergencies. This is known as the farmacia de turno and is well
recognized by a brightly lit neon turno sign. This notice is posted on the doors of other neighborhood
pharmacies.
Many medications available in Venezuela have the same name as in the U.S, including Benadryl,
Betadine, Caladryl, Chlortrimeton, Contac, Dramamine, Immodium, Kaopectate, Lomotil, Maalox,
Mylanta, Motrin, Pedialyte, Pepto-Bismol, Tums, and Tagamet.
Many drugs, which are available only by prescription in the U.S. are available over the counter in
Venezuela. Birth control pills can be purchased without a prescription. Antibiotics need a prescription.
