She arrived to the hospital with one bag, and left with another. One she never thought she’d leave with. A recycled plastic bag that held saline solution used during her surgery, but now contained a large tumor removed from her uterus. Due to a political crisis and collapse of the healthcare system the Concepcion Palacios Maternity Hospital in Caracas, Venezuela no longer has a functioning pathology lab. Patients are sent home with organs, tumors, or anything needing pathology. They are now responsible for finding a lab. Dr. Correa makes countless phone calls every surgery she does trying to find working labs for her patients, but most of the time they cannot afford the lab fee. . . . #crisis #documentary #venezuela #journalism #caracas #latinamerica #womensrights #healthcare #humanrights #maternalhealth @wpow @bppa @careorg @humanrightswatch
A project I finished just before COVID-19. A DOCTO A project I finished just before COVID-19. A DOCTOR. A FAILED SYSTEM. COUNTLESS WOMEN. Dr. Luisangela Correa has spent the last few years fighting for the women of Caracas. She is working without pay, and doing the work of multiple doctors. Correa’s empathy for these women is heroic. She fights daily against a collapsed system to bring maternal medical help that should be a human right. See previous two posts for more on Dr. Correa. . . . #journalism #portrait #hero #documentary #caracas #venezuela #healthcare #women #humanrights #maternalhealth #pregnancy #crisis @readingthepictures @humanrightswatch @bostonwomensphotoleague
A project I finished just before COVID-19. A DOCTO A project I finished just before COVID-19. A DOCTOR. A FAILED SYSTEM. COUNTLESS WOMEN. Part 2. Link to full story in bio. Captions in first comment. . There were no supplies. They were supposed to arrive that afternoon, but never did. For the fifth day in a row Dr. Luisangela Correa had to inform her patient that she could not perform her surgery. She had been waiting to perform a surgery on a patient with an infected c-section incision. While many women have fled the country to neighboring borders to give birth, there are those who can’t. They are forced to stay in a country where they are more likely to die giving birth than survive. The Concepcion Palacios Maternity Hospital is the main public maternity hospital in Caracas. This hospital used to have a good reputation. Now, in addition to no working sanitization machines, the pathology department has closed down due to inability to function. Women are now responsible for obtaining their own pathology on tumors, organs, anything that is extracted. They are sent home with these tumors or organs in a recycled plastic bag. Most of these women have no means to obtain a vital pathology report.  Women in labor are constantly turned away from the hospital due to a lack of supplies and personnel. The public hospitals are empty. They have no running water, and barely any antiseptics and medication. Women walk long distances, carrying their hospital supplies, in labor trying to find a hospital that can accept them, and help them give birth. They are forced to bring their own water, medications, dishes, and sheets. Dr. Correa has to constantly turn women away she know will not make it. The mental strain of saying I cannot help to a suffering woman, and fighting to get a simple task done is what makes doctors walk away.   Dr. Correa’s empathy for these women is heroic. She fights daily against a collapsed system to bring medical help that should be a human right. . . . #journalism #documentary #caracas #venezuela #healthcare #women #humanrights #maternalhealth #pregnancy #crisis @readingthepictures @humanrightswatch @bostonwomensphotoleague @careorg @humanrightswatch
A project I finished just before Covid-19. A DOCTO A project I finished just before Covid-19. A DOCTOR. A FAILED SYSTEM. COUNTLESS WOMEN. Part 1. Link to full story in bio. Captions in first comment. . From 2015-2016 alone Venezuela saw a 65% increase in maternal mortality according to Amnesty International. Then again in 2018 Venezuela saw another 65% increase. The main causes, a lack of medicine and a lack of doctors. Dr. Luisangela Correa is an Emergency General Surgeon that supports Ob/Gyn in the Concepción Palacios Maternity Hospital in Caracas, Venezuela. For 19 years she has been working in the Ob/Gyn public hospital sector of Caracas. The public hospital sector of Caracas used to be reliable and dependable, a high quality system. Now there is no running water, and few supplies. In the last year alone Dr. Correa has seen her number of colleagues drop to less than half. Many have left the country due to the ongoing political crisis. What was once 6 surgeons is now 2. She is currently working without pay. With a lack of contraceptives throughout the country, pregnancies in young women are on the rise. The epicenter of this crisis is a barrio called Petare. Many women have no prenatal care due to high costs from inflation, and they also suffer infections. From August to October in 2018, Dr. Correa had to perform hysterectomies on 16 girls who were younger than 18 years old. The reason being, their uterus was infected. There is no way to sterilize equipment at the hospital, as all the sterilization machines are broken. Correa tells me, “If I don’t do this job, no one will. Here, there is no one left.” . . #journalism #documentary #venezuela #maternalhealth #women #humanrights #crisis #latinamerica #healthcare #pregnancy @readingthepictures @humanrightswatch @bostonwomensphotoleague @careorg @wpow

July 4, 2020. Since July 4, 1776 the Declaration o July 4, 2020. Since July 4, 1776 the Declaration of Independence has been read every year uninterrupted from the balcony of the historic Old State House in Boston, MA. The reading was canceled this year due to COVID-19. So as the balcony lay empty a small group gathered to do their own reading of the Declaration. They refused to let a year go by without it being read. #happybirthdayamerica . . . . . . #journalism #july4 #protest #america #covid19 #trump #shutdown #boston #usa #documentary #pandemic #reportagespotlight @bostonwomensphotoleague @bppa #coronavirus #patriotism #patriots #history #independenceday

COVID-19 is still very much among us and affecting COVID-19 is still very much among us and affecting many businesses. John Allegra, owner of Allegra Farm, has been running his horse and carriage business for over four decades. His horses are part of his family, all 33 of them. His horses and authentic vintage carriages have appeared in numerous films made on the East Coast, and regularly the Metropolitan Opera. Due to the onset of COVID-19 and a total closure to the entertainment industry he has had to rethink his business. The past few months John has sustained his business by cashing in his retirement and doing more funerals than he’s ever done before. It cost him a little over $3,000 a month alone just to feed his horses. Being an older man he is praying he will make back what he has had to cash in when the entertainment industry is up and running again. He does not know when that will be. . . . . . #journalism #virus #coronavirus #quarantine #documentary #shutdown #corona #health #crisis #horses #life #covid19 #bppa @bospressphoto #empty @wpowdc #lockdown #bppa #business #reportagespotlight #photojournalism #coviddiary #alone #luciecovidphoto #Connecticut #funeral @covidphotodiaries @bostonwomensphotoleague #pandemic
