Online Reviews Summary

Recent reports and patient experiences at Hospital Victorino Santaella HLS (VE-0471) in Los Teques, Venezuela, indicate a mixed sentiment. While the hospital faced significant challenges and deficiencies in previous years, recent rehabilitation efforts suggest an improvement in its facilities and capacity, potentially leading to more positive experiences for patients and visitors.

What Travelers Love

Increased Capacity and Rehabilitated Areas: Several floors, including the emergency room, have undergone rehabilitation, significantly increasing the hospital's operational capacity to over 500 beds. This effort, noted in March 2022, aimed to make it the hospital with the highest care capacity in the country.
Expansion of Specialized Services: As of June 2023, floors 7 and 8 were being rehabilitated through self-management with local government support to expand specialized services such as Oncology and Surgery.
Active Medical Procedures: The hospital has been actively performing medical procedures, with reports in August 2023 of 77 pacemaker implants and surgeries for 20 children.
Accessibility and Parking: The hospital offers parking for customers and is well-connected by public transportation. The Alí Primera metro station is just a 5-minute walk away, and bus line 821 serves the hospital.
Wheelchair Accessibility: The facility is noted as wheelchair accessible.

Common Complaints

Historical Resource Shortages: As recently as December 2020, patients reported needing to provide their own basic medical supplies, such as bandages and hydrogen peroxide. This reflects a historical context of significant deficiencies in medical-surgical supplies, medications, cleaning products, and structural damage, as well as staff shortages, particularly noted in 2019, where only four of eleven floors were operational. While rehabilitation efforts have been made, these past issues may still influence perceptions.

Overall, Hospital Victorino Santaella appears to be undergoing a period of significant recovery and improvement in its infrastructure and service delivery, though past challenges regarding resource availability may still be a concern for some. The hospital offers good accessibility for visitors via public transport and available parking.
