The Caracas Teaching Hospital’s perinatology unit was founded in 1975 by doctors Freddy Guevara and Miguel Yaber. Its objective has been to improve foetal maternal health for resolving the main perinatal problems. Training sub-specialists in perinatology lies within its specific objectives.
Dr. Guevara began directing residency in January 1989. The unit currently has a modern plant in the Caracas Teaching Hospital, having cutting-edge technology, interinstitutional agreements and a highly trained team of professionals.
It continues training sub-specialists in perinatal medicine in Venezuela and Latin-America, 5 gynaeco-obstetricians entering the unit for subspecialisation per year (for a 2-year period).
Perinatologists from the unit are trained to provide health services in preventative, medical, surgical rehabilitation aspects in their specialization areas, participate in human and animal research work and university teaching.
