Santiago de las Vegas, Havana, February 17, 2011, (PD) The Havana government for decades has boasted of having the best health system in the world, but hidden medical problems in the country.
Portales Julio Cesar Velazco , resident at Calle 265, number 22 009, between 212 and 234; Mazorra, Boyeros municipality, in Havana, told about her situation:
"On 22 April 2006 about 6: 30 pm, I went to urinate just a train line, and at that moment I fell in sugar, because I suffer from hypo-glycemia. At that precise when a train came which struck me and dragged several meters. I lost my left leg, I fractured four ribs and spine, the vertebrae L1 and L2 I was also fractured.
medical care I received was terrible. From the beginning doctors have been deceiving. I spent three months hospitalized in the Hospital "Enrique Cabrera". The doctor who examined me was an orthopedic surgeon, Luis Blanco Chapotín, and the chief of orthopedics at the time was named Dr. Ibarra. All the time I lied saying I was going to operate. They taught me rods to the spine and I happy. But what they did was wear a cast and send to the house. They told me to wait. And I've been waiting 5 years. "
When satisfied " international missions, in order to project an image abroad of solidarity, the Cuban doctors do not stop treating a patient or a moment and do what is necessary to allow these to heal Why Why is not the same in Cuba?
About should receive assistance from relevant institutions, Portales Velazco said: " The government also has not nothing to help. I sent several letters to higher authorities, but still no answers. At first I got a check from Social Security than 240 pesos, but in December of 2009 I withdrew it. Once a year, and because he sent for, comes to see a doctor. I have gone I have scars and I had to heal myself. "
When asked how she manages to survive, says: "Full and repair lighters, this is how I earn my living, but I'm starving. Also I have serious problems with my house, I was falling over. Several years ago a hurricane was part of the roof, came to work at home promising construction materials and was another lie. "
This is how it treats the Cuban government, those who are the owners of everything that exists in the country. If the medicine in Cuba as Castro's government portrays the international level, why then a 27 year old has had to endure many setbacks? Why, after 5 years still has to wait for surgery?
