A Beacon of Resilience for Porphyria Patients in Venezuela

In the midst of one of the most challenging periods Venezuela has faced, a remarkable story of dedication and resilience is unfolding. Dr. Naileth García, together with Dr. Trina Navas — Head of the Internal Medicine Service at Hospital José Gregorio Hernández — has been working tirelessly to ensure that porphyria patients continue receiving timely, uninterrupted care and ongoing treatment during this critical situation.

Despite the complex circumstances impacting the health system and the country, their extraordinary efforts have made it possible to keep vital treatments available and ensure dedicated beds remain accessible for patients in the event of an acute crisis.

GPAC is proud to stand alongside these extraordinary physicians, whose commitment ensures that clinical monitoring and patient care remain an absolute priority.

The international porphyria community has long known what Venezuelan physicians demonstrate every day: that no crisis is large enough to extinguish the commitment to care. We express our deepest gratitude and admiration to Dr. García, Dr. Navas, and their entire medical team for their unwavering dedication to our community.
