X-Ray shows Venezuelan public hospitals in a state of continued crisis. The photographs presented here reveal the disintegration of public healthcare facilities and the suffering of vulnerable patients.

This situation is cited as a microcosm of the problems facing the country at large. The pervading poverty, violence, corruption and negligence exist simultaneously within the hospital walls.
