Shortage of doctors in AIDS sanatorium in
Cuba
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, September 16 (Diolexis
Rodríguez Hurtado, Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org) - Patients at the
AIDS sanatorium in Santa Clara complain
that due to a shortage of physicians they
are not getting appropriate care.
The shortage has been more acute in the
past few weeks after a number of doctors
were sent off to Venezuela to participate
in the agreement between the Cuban and Venezuelan
governments.
In addition, patients say other doctors
have requested transfers away from the sanatorium
due to the poor sanitary and working conditions
there.
Patients quote doctors as saying there
are few safeguards against acquiring the
disease.
