No sutures in Havana hospitals
HAVANA, May 11 (José Antonio Fornaris,
Cuba-Verdad / www.cubanet.org) - A seven-year-old
girl hurt her foot last Sunday and, after
finding there was no suture material available
to stitch her wound, her parents decided
to make do at home.
Maybelis' parents first took her to the
"Julián Grimau" polyclinic
in the Arroyo Naranjo municipality of Havana.
The doctor there told them she had no way
to stitch her wound.
The parents then said they would go to
the "Aballí" hospital,
but the doctor told them not to bother;
they had no suture materials either. She
did know that at the "William Soler"
hospital they had the necessary supplies,
but the parents decided that was too far
to go, and took Maybelis home.
