In the context of a deep national crisis, Antonio Rodríguez Rodríguez, president of the National Institute of Hydraulic Resources (INH) of Cuba, has admitted to the exodus of specialists seeking better salary conditions.
“The preparation of personnel is in progress, as in the last stage valuable workers and specialists decided to leave the sector in search of better salaries, and under those circumstances, the organization will continue to advance,” Rodríguez stated in an interview published this Monday in the official newspaper Granma.
The statement highlights a growing concern about the talent exodus in all areas, including water management on the island, which faces considerable challenges in terms of infrastructure and resources.
And it is no secret to anyone that salary conditions and incentives are not sufficient in the Cuban state sector, which reinforces the urgent need for reforms across all sectors.
Without a doubt, the regime faces the challenge of finding viable solutions to address this talent drain and ensure the continuity and quality of hydraulic services in the country.
Just a few days ago, the critical situation at the Camagüey Pediatric Hospital "Eduardo Agramonte Piña" became known, where there is no drinking water for the children admitted or their families.
Independent journalist José Luis Tan Estrada reported on his Facebook wall that he had to attend to a desperate father at his aunt's house who was searching for water for his daughter, who is hospitalized in the intermediate care unit.
Likewise, since July the supply in Havana has been in crisis due to a shortage of pumping equipment, while residents of the Chicharrones neighborhood in Santiago de Cuba had to raise the alarm about the absence of the vital liquid for two months.
