SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April 11 (Luis Alberto Rivera, APLO) - Patients admitted
to the fourth floor wards at the "Celia Sánchez Manduley"
hospital in Manzanillo have to carry buckets of water up two flights of stairs
if they want to wash themselves. The buckets are not standard hospital issue, so
they have to bring them from home.
The "Celia Sánchez Manduley" is the main hospital in
Manzanillo, a medium-sized city in eastern Granma province. A worker at the
hospital said the pump that boosts water pressure has been broken for three
years, so only the first two stories have running water.
