Surgical personnel centralized in Santa
Clara
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, March 1 (Guillermo Fariñas,
Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org)
- In an apparent attempt to centralize surgical
services in the province, surgical personnel
from the Celestino Hernández Rubao
hospital in Santa Clara, as well as personnel
from the nearby municipalities of Placetas
and Remedios, have been told to report to
the Arnaldo Milián Castro provincial
hospital, also in Santa Clara.
The measures comes after the embarkation
of up to 50% of the surgical personnel in
the province to Venezuela, under an aid
program that sends Cuban medical personnel
to Venezuela while Venezuela sends crude
to the island.
The surgical teams sent to the provincial
hospital, including surgeons, nurses, and
technicians, were told that any requests
for transfers to facilities closer to their
residences would be considered sabotage
of the "Battle of Ideas," a political
campaign the government has been waging
since 1999.
