Ferleiny Lorenzo Ortiz, an outstanding 16-year-old student from the Cambita Polytechnic in San Crist\u00f3bal, is going through a critical health situation that prevents her from resuming her academic commitments. The young woman has been admitted to the Dr. Robert Reid Cabral Pediatric Hospital since August 24th due to complications derived from Crohn’s disease.<\/p>\n\n
The condition, characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation, has caused her recurrent crises and severe pain, keeping her away from the classrooms and her school projects. Among her personal goals, her initiative to manage the installation of a traffic light near her educational center stands out, seeking to improve road safety for the entire student community.<\/p>\n\n
My studies are very important to me. I want to return to my school, be with my classmates, and continue with my projects.<\/p>Ferleiny Lorenzo Ortiz<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Shortage of high-cost medications<\/h2>\n\n
Zulenny Ortiz, the teenager’s mother, has reported the difficulties she faces in obtaining the necessary treatment. Despite having repeatedly gone to the High-Cost Medication Program, the response received is that the drug is out of stock and her daughter remains on a waiting list.<\/p>\n\n
The family has exhausted various efforts at private pharmacies without success, so they are making an urgent appeal to the competent authorities to facilitate access to the medication. The young woman emphasizes that her request does not seek privileges, but rather a solution that allows her to recover her quality of life and resume her education.<\/p>\n\n
