HAVANA, October 18 (Víctor M. Domínguez, Lux Info Press /
www.cubanet.org) - The poor sanitary conditions at the "América
Arias" maternity hospital in Havana is due to the scarcity of cleaning
personnel, who are only paid 100 pesos a month, or 3.84 dollars at the current
exchange rate.
The poor conditions are noticeable primarily on the floors and in the
bathrooms. In ward J, on the third floor, the bathrooms have been stopped up for
days now. The stench from these bathrooms permeates the adjacent 20-bed wards. "This
hospital was recently remodeled and it’s a pity that it should be in this
condition," said Nirka Céspedes, who recently was housed in ward J.
