They denounce the abandonment of people with mental disorders in Camagüey: "The government sees them as a burden."

A Cuban resident in Miami reported on social media the ordeal her family is experiencing in Camagüey due to the inadequate care of her brother with mental disorders, stating that, for the Cuban government, the sick are seen as a burden they wish to get rid of, rather than being treated as human beings.

Yasmin González León reported in a Facebook post the deterioration of the healthcare system in Cuba, noting that it has severely affected vulnerable individuals, such as her brother, and their families.

González described how the chronic shortage of medicines has made it impossible for his brother to receive appropriate treatment, which has worsened his health condition to a critical point, explaining that he receives “one medicine today and a different one tomorrow.”

The situation worsens because the medications her brother, 12 years younger than her, needs can only occasionally be found in the informal market, but at prohibitively high prices.

These facts highlight the lack of resources and the system's inability to care for patients with mental disorders, he emphasized.

One of the most alarming aspects of his report is the condition of the Psychiatric Hospital of Camagüey, where, according to González, patients are treated in rusty beds and with poor hygiene conditions.

"The 'so-called crazies' are no longer considered human beings," he stated, highlighting the deterioration of medical care and the lack of dignity with which patients are treated in these centers.

It also pointed out that the hospital's priority seems to be preventing these realities from being exposed on social media, instead of providing the necessary care for his brother, who has been in crisis for days.

"Writing a post on Facebook has become a greater crime than allowing the soul of a person to be destroyed," he emphasized.

Despite the seriousness of his condition, the hospital refuses to provide him with medical care unless he is admitted, but his parents have resisted due to the deplorable conditions of the place.

"In Cuba, they are dedicated to destroying the soul of the Cuban, systematically, by all possible means," the whistleblower pointed out while criticizing the regime.

"My brother and my parents are just a small part of the corpses that the famous 'Revolution' is leaving in its wake," he pointed out, describing the absolute degradation of the public health system of the Cuban government, which, in his opinion, is more concerned with building hotels than improving care centers.

It is not the first time that criticism has poured in regarding the Psychiatric Hospital of Camagüey, due to the state of abandonment of the care facility, as well as the treatment received by the patients.

In March, the news portal Cubanet published a gallery of images on Facebook that showed the poor conditions of the hospital and the way patients were treated, as they were tied up due to the lack of medication and subjected to electroshock.

"This is how patients are treated at the René Vallejo Ortiz Psychiatric Hospital in Camagüey. Due to the shortage of medications to sedate them, they are applying electroshock to many patients and keeping them tied up," emphasized the publication.

Five months later, the situation has not changed much. Just a few days ago, a Cuban mother reported the lack of staff and the poor conditions affecting the hospital service, which she visited with her son after he suffered a crisis that required specialized care.

However, once at the hospital, the doctors determined that the young man should be admitted to receive electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), commonly known as shock treatment.
