Cuban shows the maternity hospital in Matanzas in the dark amid a blackout.

A pregnant Cuban woman reported on her social media what happens in the maternity hospital in Matanzas when the power goes out at night.

The young woman, named Sheyla, was astonished to find out that they also cut 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 stage of pregnancy, criticized other aspects of the institution's operations, such as the fact that neither patients nor companions have a space or furniture to store their belongings, and that there are not even chairs to sit in the waiting rooms. She had to sit on the stairs.

"And at night, you know, another tremendous blackout. A place where there are small children, 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 facing patients.

"And what do they do with the babies who are seriously ill and need incubators or artificial respiration?" one asked.

"But what about the one who needs an emergency cesarean section, from the mother?" another questioned.

"And what about the children who might need oxygen?" another one asked.

At the end of July, a mother from Santiago accused the regime of prioritizing festive events over essential services after she experienced a blackout in a children's hospital, just days after the waste of electricity during the carnival.

Independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada shared on Facebook the frustration of the mother after the blackout that occurred at the Dr. Antonio María Béguez César Children's Hospital, better known as La Colonia.

"Here we are, after days of electricity waste with the Carnival. It is a lack of respect they have towards the population, and they don't consider that there are small children here," the woman denounced.

In May, patients and companions at the Oncology Hospital of Santiago de Cuba reported a blackout that began one afternoon and lasted several hours.

The explanation they were given was that the electric plant or generator did not have the oil it needed and that they would have to work without electricity for a few hours.

"The nurses and we are lighting ourselves with the phone's flashlight," reported an affected person. "We called the Party and everywhere, and they are still cutting off our electricity."
