Medical Assistance in Cuba Is a Reality in Each House

Las Tunas.- The binomial
physician and nurse in each
district is for most of the
Cubans a perfect duet that
always knows what it is
happening in each family,
many times, beyond the
proper medical diseases. |
Primary health assistance in Las Tunas consolidates
with the preventive work in the communities. |
I say this because
they are the root of the primary health assistance
in the Caribbean island and they are the center of
attention of the community due to the daily
responsibility they have to offer their free
services to the neighbors.
Physicians and nurses not only consult their
patients at their offices but they also go to the
houses of old people, pregnant women and babies to
know if they have any health problem.
They belong to the 16 policlinics of Las Tunas
eastern province and depending on the complexities
of the town they assist, they can be classify as
type 1, with a nurse, and those of type 2 who work
24 hours a day and offer their services in remote
areas.
The results in the prevention of illnesses with
which they say goodbye to the 2009 speak by
themselves to demonstrate their outstanding work
along this territory, 690 kilometers to the East of
Havana.
They dedicate time to visit each newborn and give
advice to the adult the population on how to avoid
some diseases to protect the whole family.
But they also have dissatisfaction such as the
repair of their offices and the shortage of
materials to make a better work. Anyway they always
offer their services with a big satisfaction. No
matter if they have to travel to a patient’s house
on foot.
The primary health assistance in Cuba is a reality
that has consolidated in the 50 years of Revolution
and that now faces significant changes to offer its
most important services at the communities; however,
the personnel's value continue being an
unquestionable merit of daily sacrifice, the best
incentives to achieve good results in the public
health. |
