Health workers threatened if outbreak information
leaks
MORON, Cuba - September 26 (Abel Escobar
Ramírez / www.cubanet.org) - Workers
at the Morón General Hospital in
Ciego de Ávila province say they
have been warned that should any of them
leak any information about the current outbreak
of dengue fever they will lose their jobs
without any right to appeal.
One worker who asked not to be named said
the different departments in the facility
have been informed that should any information
leak out to radio stations or web pages
abroad, the informants will be fired because
this information, according to hospital
administrators, "is used by the enemy
to overthrow the Revolution."
The worker said that in general workers
are fearful to express any concerns they
may have lest they be taken as informants
and fired. So, he said, a recent breakdown
of the water pumps feeding the hospital
went unreported for days.
