Basic Information About Venezuela For a very complete look at general statistics look to the World Factbook http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ve.html Health Information (1) The following information is by the Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress under the Country Studies/Area Handbook Program. As it is a temporary on-line searchable source it is not possible to bookmark or hyperlink to the site. Below is some of the information from the country study. The availability of care in rural areas represented another gap in the health care delivery system. Doctors tended to concentrate in the large cities, especially Caracas, leaving many smaller provincial towns without adequate medical personnel. The government has attempted to meet these shortcomings, with some success, by providing basic medical services through a system of paramedics. On the other hand, shrinking budgets could take a toll on health services. Health Information (2) For detailed health data please go the the PAHO website : http://www.paho.org/English/SHA/prflven.htm
