Havana Cuba. — Every December 3, in honor of the Cuban doctor Carlos Juan Finlay Barrés, the Day of the Latin American Health and Medicine Worker is celebrated on the Island.
The Cuban health system, which was very efficient before 1959, after Fidel Castro came to power became a tool for political propaganda, which maintained an adequate standard of quality thanks first to Soviet subsidies, then to the export of services doctors and the Venezuelan oil that arrived in abundance thanks to the Castrochavista collusion.
The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated that the “medical power” was one more of many inflated balloons, a terrible lie that cost thousands of Cuban lives, while the regime continued to promote the rental of doctors to first world countries and health tourism. on the Island, with vaccinations included.
The truth about him Cuban health system it has come to light, showing its corruption and technological backwardness; the declining level of graduates from schools of Medicine, Nursing and Health Technology; the incompetence of what they call “free services”; the poor state of hospital facilities and the alarming frequency with which patients die due to medical negligence, shortage of supplies and lack of ambulances.
The only thing worthy of recognition this December 3 is the immense humanity of the doctors who have decided to face the definitive crisis of the Cuban system from their jobs, without renouncing to provide their patients with the best service that those who lack absolutely everything can provide. , from saline solutions and antipyretics, to suture thread and adhesive tape.
On this day, which should be a source of pride for those who practice one of the professions that made the development of human civilization possible, many health workers request leave to emigrate or seek better-paid jobs in the private sector.
Today Cuban medicine is, above all, a business that allows Castroism to stay in power. It is proof that socialism has dedicated itself to selling a false image of citizen well-being and access to quality health services, while enslaving its professionals, extorting them and imposing cruel punishments on them for refusing to accept the submission conditions stipulated in the contract of each “internationalist mission”.
