After weeks of official silence about the shortage of oxygen, critics in Cuba questioned why the govern- [ did not have con- tingency plans to avoid depending on a sole oxygen plant during a pandemic. Others questioned how the government used the billions of dollars in reve- aue from exporting doctors broad in "medical bri- gades." For instance, a medical oxygen -producing plant sells for just 570,000 through Chinese online retailer Alibaba. Critics also pointed out that the government has drastically cut the public health budget in recent years. In 2020, for exam- ple, it only made new in- vestments for S80.4 million in public health and social assistance while funneling more than 54 billion to real estate, tourism, and "busi- ness services," according to official statistics. "The lack of oxygen in hospitals (nCuba is literally choking) could have been foreseen by the govern- ment Experts gave advance nonce of this health disas- ter. And it could have been solved if they had invested in oxygen plants instead of continuing building hotels," said Cuban independent journalist Maykel Vivero. Cuban doctors post video defending care, lashing out at the government's response to the pandemic SV NORA GAINER IORRES sew„enarre,Eana.rowraw..es A group of defiant doc- tors in Cuba posted a rare video over the weekend criticizing the govern- ment's handling of the pandemic as COVID pa- tients continue to suffer from a lack of medicines and essential supplies. The video, featuring doctors from Holguin in eastern Cuba, came as the cmtntry's health minister pubtcty acknowledged an oxygen shortage amid a sage of coronavhus cases. "1 want to denounce the collapse of or health sys- tem in our hospital and many others, said Dr. Hector Aleiandm Santieste- ban Fuentes, a second -year surgery resident at a hospi- tal named for Russian our - mist leader Vladimir mn Lenin. "It is rota lie. No e is paying us It is the reality we are living today." Dr. Y06et Consuegra Leyva, a third -year surgery resident at the same hospi- tal in Holguin, said the halth personnel were "mistreated, every day, by the upper echelons, the authorities. Actually, we are the ones wstawng this More than a dozen spe- cialists, residents, and in- terns from several hospitals in Holguin, including the head of intensive care at General Hospital Vladimir Mich Lenin, Dr. Alejandro Eduardo Fores Arafey ap- peared in the video. The outspoken video is the latest example of how Cubans, including some Reeking for the state, are becoming even more vocal after the anti -government protests that shook the island last month. It's also more evidence that the COVID emergency is taking such a dramatic turn that health workers feel they need to speak out even at the tisk of losing their jobs The doctors were panic - Wady incensed by com- ments made by Cuba's prime minister Manuel Marrero, who blamed healthcare workers for discontent surrounding the COVID-19 response. In an official meeting in Cienfue- gos last week, Marrero said that the population was complaining more about miserearnent" and "ne- glect" of patients by the health workers than the shortage of medicines. "I publicly denounce that doctors are not to blame for the collapse of the health system in our country," said each of the participants in the video. The comments echoed those of other doc- tors who replied to Marrero with anger on social media. Rafael Alejandro Fuentes Sanchez, a general surgeon at one of the province's train hospitals, acknowl- edged that the group feared government retaliation for nuking the video. "We are afraid, but we are not afraid of the pandemic; we are afraid of the government, of what it can do, and of the way it can react to the fact that we are speaking out to demand our rights and the rights of the people to have quality care." he said. On Sunday, the govern- ment finally acknowledged there is a shortage of oxy- gen to treat COVID pa- tients, as Cuban independ- ent media and the Herald have reported. The health minister, Jose Angel Portal Miranda, said there were "limitations with the medical oxygen cov- erage for patient care." He said the shortage was due to a broken part in the is- land's main oxygen -produc- ing plant, a breakdown that "nobody expected" Ina local newspper's Judy 29 report, there is a reference to the lack of oxygen in the centrally located municipality of Ciego de Avila due to the broken plant in Havana. An official is quoted in the Invasor as saying the sit- uation was expected to last "until next month because the pan that the Havana plant needs is imported from Germany, and it couldn't arrive earlier."
