Barbados’ Medical Mission in Venezuela | Barbados News

Barbados’ emergency medical team has been a lifeline in earthquake-ravaged Venezuela, treating over 2,700 patients and performing 74 surgeries since July. Led by Prime Minister Mia Mottley, who returned from a firsthand visit describing the devastation as “staggering,” the mission blends Barbadian defense, hospital staff, and volunteers—with Venezuelan nationals helping bridge language and cultural gaps. Operating from a field hospital since mid-July, they’re expected to stay until early October. Beyond relief, the deployment also underscores growing ties between the nations, with future plans for cooperation in food security and tourism.
