PINAR DEL RIO, SAN JUAN Y MARTINEZ, March 28 (Ernesto La O Ramos, Movimiento Cívico Nacional "Máximo Gómez Báez") - After examining Estrella Mergarejo Silva, 32, at the community clinic here on March 7, doctors Omar Ramos Fernández and Osvaldo Borges Herrera diagnosed weakness due to malnutrition.

The doctors gave the news to the waiting relatives and gave the patient a glass of milk.

The patient's condition worsened and, after waiting four hours for transport, was transferred to the Provincial Hospital, where she died at 4 p.m. on the same day, presumably of a heart attack.
