President Nicolás Maduro made the remark during an event promoting the country's national women's healthcare plan.


"May God bless you for having given life to six little girls and boys", Maduro said.


Mudro's comments come as the country further spirals down into an economic crisis that has left thousands jobless, malnourished, and lacking proper medical supplies due to country-wide shortages.


According to the UN, 13% of Venezuelan children under five are malnourished.
