FROM
CUBA
Resources scarce in hospitals

CAMAGÜEY, Cuba - October (www.cubanet.org)
- Cuban hospitals have become decrepit places
with leaks and peeling paint and so few
resources that patients take their own from
home.
Typically, patients take sheets, towels,
eating utensils and a bucket for water.
Now, in the latest wrinkle, visitors are
finding there are few if any chairs for
them to sit.
A woman visiting her niece in the maternity
hospital in Camagüey said she got into
an argument with a nurse who asked her not
to sit in the patient's bed. The nurse,
she said, told her in other hospitals people
take in their own chairs to sit.
In another instance, two women were seen
fighting for a chair. "Don't worry,"
said one bystander. "There are no chairs.
I don't know what they did with them, but
there are no chairs. Any time now we are
going to have to provide the bed for the
patient."
