A pregnant Cuban woman reported on her social media what happens in the maternity hospital of Matanzas when the electricity goes out at night.
The young woman, named Sheyla, was astonished to find out that they also cut off the power in healthcare centers.
"Incredible, but true, this is what a maternity hospital looks like in Cuba. It was around 10 at night and it was completely dark," he said.
Sheyla, in an advanced state of gestation, criticized other aspects of the facility's operation, such as the fact that neither patients nor companions have a space or piece of furniture to store their belongings, and that there isn’t even a chair to sit on in the waiting rooms. She had to sit on the stairs.
"And at night, you know, another huge blackout. A place where there are little kids, but well, here they don't believe in anyone," he concluded.
Dozens of people commented on the post, outraged by the crisis in the Cuban healthcare system and the dangers faced by patients.
"And what do they do with babies who are seriously ill and need incubators or artificial respiration?" one person asked.
"But what about the one who needs an emergency cesarean section, like a mother?" questioned another.
"And what about the children who may need oxygen?" another one asked.
What do you think?
