NUEVA GERONA, November 7 (Carlos Serpa Maceira, UPECI / www.cubanet.org) -
The lack of ambulance service in Ciro Redondo township, in the Isle of Youth,
has generated unhappiness among the population, who attribute the problem to
government inefficiency.
"This is not the first time we have to make do without an ambulance,
and we have informed the delegate of the Popular Power [local government] of the
situation, but he says this is out of his hands," said one resident.
Residents complain as well about the public health service as a whole. The
nearest first aid facility is about 8 miles away, in the capital, they say.
"When we have an emergency, we have to phone Ambulance Central, and
when they send a car, it is late, which endangers the patient’s life,"
said the resident.
