Despite the effects of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States government on Cuba, workers in the Public Health sector perfect their work, in order to improve the quality of service to the people.
The effects of this criminal policy are reflected in the lack of medicines, equipment, expendable equipment, diagnostic tools, instruments, spare parts and equipment necessary for the different medical procedures.
According to Dr. Diana Nieves Garay, Deputy Director of Medical Assistance of the Armando Enrique Cardoso Teaching Hospital, told the press, this hostile policy does not prevent the achievement of satisfactory results in the daily performance of health professionals.
The increase of satisfactory births in the course of the year, successes in the surgical activity and the opening, soon, of a room for hemodialysis are some of the advances of the sector in the municipality.
José Daniel Suárez Nieves, medical student and president of the University Student Federation (FEU), referred to the willingness of the Cuban doctors to continue their work despite the difficulties, and highlighted the State's efforts to guarantee access and free care services, protection and recovery of patients.
