Five Turkish nationals and one Cuban remain hospitalized, with varying prognoses due to the burns they have sustained, at the "Hermanos Ameijeiras" Clinical Surgical Hospital and "General Calixto García" University Hospital, both in Havana.
In an update provided by Dr. Fernando Trujillo Sánchez, National Director of Hospital Services of the Ministry of Public Health (Minsap), to the official journalist Lázaro Manuel Alonso, it was revealed that the five Turks are hospitalized at Hermanos Ameijeiras.
Reports on his health status are mixed, with two in extremely critical condition; one in very serious condition and two with mild injuries, "who are clinically stable at this time," the communicator pointed out on Facebook.
He also added that there were two Cubans admitted to the "Calixto García" hospital, but one has been released, while the one who remains hospitalized "has no complications and is being assessed with a favorable evolution."
Alonso assured that the conditions for the care of all patients are guaranteed and that there is constant follow-up by a multidisciplinary team of specialists according to the injuries they present.
The fire in which these individuals were injured occurred on the morning of last Thursday while welding work was being carried out on a truck located in the Bay of Havana.
Vicente de la O Levy, Minister of Energy and Mines, reported on the social network X that the fire was immediately brought under control and that the injured workers were receiving medical attention.
Hours later, the Cuban government, through its media outlets, reported what had happened, stating that the incident occurred on the KPS 57 truck, which contributes 15 MW to the national electric system (SEN).
