Relatives of patients admitted to the Antonio María Béguez Children’s Hospital, known as La Colonia, in Santiago de Cuba, reported the terrible food given to the children.
The independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada shared on his Facebook wall the photos of the food they received on Tuesday afternoon.
It consists of two dishes, the first with a bit of rice, two cakes that look like fritters, and a piece of tuber. The second contained the "dessert": a slice of melon and a bread.
The images have generated outrage among internet users.
"That's zoo food, it would be good to take that food along with that snack to the National Assembly for the deputies to eat it," said a young man.
"How are they going to recover with the food they are given, no words," questioned a CUPET worker.
"That is the sad reality, it is not only in the pediatric hospital, it is in all healthcare centers," assured a woman from Santiago.
"What a shame, and the hotels are full of food and without tourists," criticized a woman.
Just a little over a month ago, a user shared an image on the Internet of the children's food at the pediatric hospital in Guantánamo: some white rice, peas, and five pieces of boiled banana.
In addition to the food, the parents of the patients at La Colonia hospital have reported on other occasions the unsanitary conditions and poor hygiene, with toilets filled with urine and paper and a foul smell in the waiting room, as there are no cleaning staff.
