Such is the case of Dariana Elluz Amaya, 25, who said she had to go or "we both died", is nine months pregnant and a belly that barely looks out. In a folder, which she reaches when she wants to give a date with precision, she has kept the story of her son about to be born. Show two scans. A clinic in Zulia announces that she will have a child and Cartagena says it will be a girl. "It is not even there exams do well," she says indignantly. Two days later Ashely Samara was born at the Rafael Calvo maternity clinic, reported El PaÃs.
Elluz is part of the 82 Venezuelans who in the first two months of this year have sought care in that medical center in Cartagena. In the same period of 2016, the figure was close to 40 cases.

More resources and a policy that guarantees your attention are needed. "
