The inability of the Cuban regime to provide all the working conditions for doctors motivated people to ask for help on social media this Wednesday to get otoscopes to the otolaryngologists in Camagüey.
The activist Guelmi Abdul posted on Facebook that the healthcare personnel in that province need the medical instrument that is used to examine the inside of the ear.
"For the ENT doctors to be able to examine the patients, who can be any relative, neighbor, or friend of ours, they need otoscopes for the consultations," noted the individual, insisting on getting them there as soon as possible.
In the comments section, the activist denounced that the lack of this medical instrument and other supplies affects the people the most, and in this sense, she emphasized that "there is no other option but to keep looking."
The author of the publication also pointed out that currently some otolaryngologists, who earn a salary that does not cover their basic personal and family needs, buy the otoscopes themselves as the only way to solve the problem in the face of the inaction of the regime and to guarantee the care of the patients.
"Many regulations for them for being specialists and nothing to be able to assist the people," he finally said.
Faced with a shortage of medical supplies and medicines, people are organizing campaigns on social media to alleviate the situation created by the economic crisis in Cuba.
Last April, Cuban activist Yamilka Lafita, known on social media as Lara Crofs, started an online campaign to obtain a humanitarian visa for Thiago Fernando, a child suffering from a degenerative disease that has no treatment available on the island.
Lara, who led the campaign that allowed the departure to Spain of Amanda Lemus Ortiz, a girl in need of a liver transplant, has now started a similar initiative for this nine-year-old boy suffering from Duchenne syndrome (a rapidly worsening muscular dystrophy).
