José tried handing in his resignation, but the hospital administration refused to let him quit. When he insisted, he was threatened by officers from the Special Action Forces (FAES), a branch of the national police that has been implicated in extrajudicial killings and arbitrary arrests.
José’s decision to speak out, combined with the critical state of the health care system, was taken very seriously by the Transparencia Venezuela staff. The chapter requested a public hearing on the general situation of hospitals and corruption in the Venezuelan health sector before the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights. The chapter testified about the lack of PPE, water and other supplies, as well as the deteriorated conditions of hospitals. The commission has the power to enforce legal protections for health care workers to ensure their physical welfare.
