Cuban actor Jorge Losada needs a wheelchair.

The renowned Cuban actor Jorge Losada, who has faced various health problems lately, needs a wheelchair to get around, but he cannot afford it.

Luis Lacosta, art director at ICAIC who has helped him before, revealed on his Facebook profile that Losada needs to leave, and that is the only way to do it.

"We don't have money to buy," he said.

Lacosta specified that he has already reached out to the Council of Scenic Arts of the Ministry of Culture and to UNEAC, but they told him they don't have any.

"Here the situation is not easy at all, even with the famous actors," he emphasized.

Several internet users criticized the lack of attention from the sector's authorities to the artists.

"And the culture minister is just lounging around. It must be a shame that someone from their team needs something so important and has to ask for help to buy a chair," said one.

"If you can't make it, let's do a ponina among many, it's incredible that this country can't even solve that," lamented a graduate in Sociocultural Studies.

In April, Losada had to be hospitalized at the Manuel Fajardo hospital in Havana due to various health issues.

In February 2021, he underwent surgery and as a result of the operation, he was left with severe anemia. Due to the shortage of medications in Cuba, Luis Lacosta turned to the internet to request medications for himself.

"He is facing problems; he has been diagnosed with severe anemia despite eating daily. It seems that his body has some issue, and they have prescribed Inferón and Trofin or another medication for him to overcome the anemia," he detailed.

Immediately, several people showed solidarity and proposed ideas on how to promptly deliver the medicines.

Losada, a prestigious actor of film, theater, and television, recovered and in 2023 participated in the Cuban telenovela Renacer, an experience he described as "unique."

"Because I'm a gossip and in real life I'm not, but in the telenovela I talk badly about everyone and I don't even know why," he explained in an interview with actor Ulises González for Cubaactores.

"And perhaps it will be my last appearance and that I'll give that bad... image," he added in an endearing video.
