Indian Field Hospital in Caracas Closes After a Week of Disaster Assistance

After completing its emergency response, the Indian field hospital in Caracas was shut down on Monday afternoon. The facility, established in the Caracas race track area under Operation Amistad, provided critical medical care to earthquake victims.

According to the Indian embassy, the team’s effort over the past seven days resulted in the treatment of hundreds of patients, including surgeries, wound care and rehabilitation services. The rapid deployment and efficient operation were cited as key factors in mitigating the health impact of the quake.

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil visited the site, expressing sincere appreciation for India’s swift humanitarian action and noting the strong bond between the two nations.
