CIENFUEGOS, January 31 (Alina Gonzalo, Cuba-Verdad) – Patients in need of x-rays in Aguada de Pasajeros must travel 45 miles to the provincial capital because the x-ray equipment in the municipal hospital "Alipio León" has been out of order for months.

Even before the equipment finally broke down, the approximately 35,000 people in Aguada often had to make do without the service, since the administration at the hospital authorized only five x-rays a day, said Osvaldo, a local family doctor who only gave his first name.
