Havana's showcase hospital refurbished to
treat health tourists
HAVANA, June 25 (Richard Roselló
/ www.cubanet.org) - The Hermanos Ameijeiras
hospital in Havana, one of the government's
showcases for its vaunted health-care accomplishments,
is being refurbished to provide services
to health tourists in better than half its
24 stories.
The repairs were started about six months
ago and are due to be completed by September
2. The 1000-plus-bed hospital is scheduled
to be split, 55% for foreigners and 45%
for Cubans. At present, only three of the
top stories have been dedicated for the
care of foreigners who pay for services
in hard currency.
