In the midst of the crisis in the Cuban health system, images of an elderly man crawling across the floor of a hospital as several people watched without receiving help emerged this Tuesday.

Likewise, a pregnant woman with twins denounced the deplorable conditions at the National Hospital in Havana, where she, in her condition,I had to carry water in buckets for bathing and flushing the toilet.
The Cuban doctor Alexander Figueredo denounced a week ago thatthe island town "He is completely unprotected in terms of health and his doctors are waiting for a response or they will abandon service."
He said that doctors from the Bayamo hospital delivered a letter to the facility's management and have not received a response as to how they are going to continue providing terrible care without resources.
Figueredo has been making the same complaints for years about the lack of supplies in the country's hospitals, for which he has been a victim of repression and harassment.
