Nueva Esparta, July 8, 2025.—As part of its commitment to providing timely, accessible, and reliable medical care, Venemergencia officially announced the expansion of its national reach through a network of Urgent Care partners. The first clinics to take the lead in implementing this innovative model are the La Fe Surgical Medical Center in Pampatar and the Juan Griego Clinic, both located on Margarita Island in Nueva Esparta state.
Venemergencia already operates six of its own facilities offering emergency medical care through the country’s major insurance providers: two in Caracas and one in each of the following cities—Valencia, Lechería, Maracaibo, and Barquisimeto—with a sixth facility in Maracay set to open in September. Strategic partnerships such as those established with these clinics on Margarita Island are living proof that there are indeed ways to provide excellent healthcare services while applying protocols designed to achieve true cost efficiency.
Through this partnership, Urgent Care and its partner clinics guarantee a comprehensive medical experience, with rapid response times and a patient-centered approach. Especially now that the vacation season is beginning and Margarita Island is one of the most visited destinations, this is news with a major positive impact for those who live on and visit the island.
“This is not just an announcement. It is a reality that begins today and will continue to grow in every region of the country. Our goal is clear: to be where we are needed most, bringing reliable healthcare solutions to more Venezuelans,” said Dr. Andrés Simón González-Silén, Executive Director of Venemergencia Urgent Care.
Regarding this partnership, Rafael Tovar, President of La Fe Surgical Medical Center, explained that this collaboration involves providing patients with high-quality infrastructure, a team of top-tier professionals, and an impeccable track record on the island. All within a care model that truly enhances patients’ quality of life.
For his part, Dr. Luis Enrique Velásquez, Chief Operating Officer of Venemergencia Urgent Care, noted that “with this first step in Nueva Esparta, the Urgent Care Partner Network positions itself as a concrete solution to provide immediate medical care, backed by professional expertise and technology, to more people, without them having to travel outside their city.”
Carolina Lehmann, Vice President of the Juan Griego Clinic, highlighted the clinic’s capabilities to treat patients requiring emergency care in facilities that meet strict quality standards, in addition to the special design features incorporated into the pediatric emergency area.
