Residents complain about subpar medical
services
HAVANA, June 24 (Moisés Leonardo
Rodríguez, Grupo Decoro / www.cubanet.org)
- Residents of Madruga say they are disgusted
by the insufficient level of medical services
offered the population lately by the local
polyclinic.
Among the reasons for the lack of services
that previously were widely available they
cite the scarcity of resources and the wholesale
shipment of doctors and other medical personnel
to Venezuela and several other countries.
Even the doctors left behind are overworked
as a result of the government's policy.
As a specific example, residents say the
polyclinic in Madruga has not rendered optometry
services for about two months now, allegedly
because their equipment is broken. The problem
has been a constant off and on for most
of the last year.
During the last year, residents say they
were able to make do in neighboring Güines,
but that option is no longer viable because
the technician there was mobilized for military
service.
