"I am complying with my treatment. As I said before, they are only giving us three hours (of dialysis), because they do not give us the full four hours, due to the lack of maintenance of the machines that are in all the dialysis centres. Although there are technicians, there is no way to pay them. Beside this, there is a problem with the supply of material, it does not reach all the dialysis centres. So therefore they always reduce the treatment schedule."

"The humanitarian aid will give us a break to the whole crisis in the health sector. But humanitarian aid is not enough. We need to reinvest in the health sector, for people and for infrastructure. (The government needs to) Create some method of controlling investments (to health) so that they can reach the population. Because corruption is another problem where the state's spending money disappears and the people don't receive what they need. So in the (political) change that we all want, there must be a good reflection of how investments are made and how these investments are protected so that they will really benefit most of the people and not only a few."

STORYLINE:
For Anahis Alvarado her battle with kidney failure has become more desperate as Venezuela sinks deeper into crisis.
The prospect of bringing in emergency medical and food supplies can't come soon enough.
She's watched five fellow patients in her dialysis group die over the past few years due to inadequate care.
Only a quarter of the dialysis machines where she receives treatment at a government-run clinic in Caracas still work.
And last week she had to spend almost a third of her family's monthly income buying basic supplies like surgical gloves and syringes that President Nicolas Maduro's government is no longer able to provide.
"We're losing time," the 32-year-old Alvorado said.
She hopes relief will soon be on its way.
Some 620 miles (1,000 kilometres) away, in the Colombian border city of Cucuta, opponents of Maduro are hastily putting together plans with US officials to open a "humanitarian corridor" to deliver badly needed food and medicine.
The aid convoy is seen as a key test for Juan Guaido after the opposition leader declared himself interim president in a high-risk challenge to Maduro's authority.
Guaido's move has the backing of almost 40 countries around the world.
But getting the food into Venezuela is no easy task.
On Wednesday, a large tanker, mangled fencing and a shipping container were scattered across a bridge connecting the two countries, a makeshift barricade reflecting Maduro's longstanding rejection of outside assistance.
"We aren't beggars," the embattled socialist president said Monday in a speech to troops.
Maduro's government has steadfastly denied the existence of a humanitarian crisis that has forced some 3 million Venezuelans to flee in recent years, even while handing out heavily subsidised food staples to rally support among the poor, especially ahead of elections.
The standoff has troubled international relief organisations, many who say the issue of humanitarian aid is being used as a political weapon by both sides.
The International Committee of the Red Cross is among groups that have warned about the fast-escalating rhetoric.
On Tuesday, it repeated an offer to distribute humanitarian assistance but only if authorities agree to guarantee the aid safely reaches those in need and isn't politicised.
The Trump administration has pledged 20 million US dollars in humanitarian assistance to Guaido's government in addition to the more than 140 million US dollars it has already made available to South American countries absorbing the exodus of Venezuelan migrants.
Canada has pledged another 53 million US dollars to Guaido.
US National Security Adviser John Bolton last week tweeted a picture of hundreds of boxes of ready-to-use meals for "malnourished children," each printed with an American flag, that he said were ready to be delivered.
The 30 to 40 tons of aid includes baby formula and high-protein biscuits, according to a US official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the plans.
Meanwhile, Cucuta has become the top destination for Venezuelans who travel long distances to the city in a desperate search for food and medicine.
Alvarado said if it wasn't for a friend who made the trek for her last week she wouldn't have the antibiotic she needs to treat an infection.
She paid for the medicine with money from an aunt in Argentina because her once middle-class family struggles to survive on her mother's meager retirement pension of 8 US dollars a month.
During dialysis sessions dangerously shortened by an hour to cope with the lack of machines and supplies, Alvarado keeps herself busy by writing poetry.
Her latest poem, written the day Venezuelans poured into the street in support of Guaido, is an ode to a Venezuela she dreams of one day being replenished with "pharmacies full of medicine."
"I want to get better so that I can begin to help others," she said. "All of us are victims and all of us need to work hard so Venezuela can resurge."
In Cucuta, volunteers have been on standby for days to help with the aid's arrival but have been given no indication of how it will get into Venezuela.
Among those waiting in limbo is Aminta Villamizar, a retiree and diabetic patient, who lost her right leg and two toes on her left leg because she can't find enough insulin.
Lying in bed in her Caracas apartment building, she waits as her grandson, Antonio, measures her blood sugar levels.
Although it's above normal, she resists the offer of a shot, preferring to safeguard her scarce supplies and instead pray to an icon of Dr. Jose Greogrio Hernandez, a 19th-century Venezuelan doctor who treated the poor and is revered throughout the country as a saint.
"I was a person who worked my entire life, but this sickness destroyed me," she said.
