Sanitation poor at AIDS sanatorium
HAVANA, Cuba - January 11 (Amarilis C.
Rey, Cuba Verdad / www.cubanet.org) - A
patient at an AIDS sanatorium in Menocal,
Havana province, complained here that sanitation
at the facility is so poor that it imperils
patients' lives.
"The water is contaminated with trash,
stones, and leaves. The tanks are not cleaned
and neither is the drinking water boiled.
One can often see cats, dogs, and even cattle
ambling through the kitchens and dining
area," said Frank Leal.
Leal, who said he had been struck with
diarrhea along with other patients recently,
pointed out a sample of what he said was
the sugar used at the hospital. It was noticeably
contaminated with foreign particles.
There are more than 100 patients at the
sanatorium.
