As part of the guidelines of the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro Moros, the National Council for the Development of Afro-descendant Communities of Venezuela (Conadecafro), held a comprehensive care day called Juntera Afro at the Pablo Antonio Rada cultural complex and the boulevard of Plaza Bolívar, Brion municipality, Curiepe, Bolivarian State of Miranda, in which 755 people of African descent were treated, including women, men, girls, children, young people and adults older.

During the activity, people from the Afro-descendant community received care in specialties such as surgery, gynecology, neonatology, internal medicine, general medicine, vaccination, as well as the delivery of medicines, and approximately 150 were delivered free of charge, thus providing meeting spaces for the development of activities of recognition, justice, development, inclusion and peace.

It should be noted that the main objective of Juntera Afro is comprehensive care, through five pavilions such as: Afro-economy, institutionality, comprehensive health, education and children's ward, which allowed free access to these areas in order to continue to promote protection for the Afro-descendant sector.

In addition, during the development of the activity, 11 leading octogenarians of the parish were honored with the award of awards as a sign of the value of the work carried out as a reference for the Afro-Venezuelan community and people, who make the entire country proud.
