It is time for the United States, just as it has made an exception to the US embargo on Cuba with the sale of cars, buses and tractors to private Cuban businessmen, to make an exception to the supplies of energy, medical supplies and pharmaceuticals for hospitals in Cuba to which the entire population of Cuba has totally free access, without exceptions, by health law on the island.
It is known that for a long time more than 400 Cuban surgeons have been trained in the DA VINCI surgical operations robot, but due to the US embargo it has been impossible to provide Cuban hospitals with this tool, this is just to quote an example.
The measure of selling automobiles to private Cuban companies is wise and we applaud it, but Washington's gesture is useless if the most precious asset of the island's population, the right of all to health, deteriorates due to a US embargo. of more than 60 years.
The serious shortage of fuel that affects the entire island of Cuba at this time and causes blackouts is largely due to the US embargo that weighs on the island both in international banking transactions and in the penalization of tankers and technological supplies for energy that arrive at Cuban ports, this problem is seriously affecting the large network of hospitals spread throughout the entire island. It is ethical, that in the supply of energy that exceptions be made for hospital centers.
WASHINGTON has been accused of showing “contempt for life and hatred of the Cuban people” after it bought up companies making ventilators and immediately banned them from exporting the machines to Cuba and Venezuela.
Cuba said it had tried to obtain medical supplies from 60 US companies for the treatment of coronavirus patients but had been ignored by all but two, with the US blockade restricting even emergency material.

Es hora ya de que Estados Unidos, al igual que ha hecho una excepcion al US embargo a Cuba con la venta de autos, omnibus y tractores a empresarios privados cubanos, haga una excepcion a los suministros de energia, insumos hospitalarios y farmacia a hospitales de Cuba a los cuales tiene acceso totalmente gratuito toda la poblacion de Cuba, sin excepciones, por ley de salud en la isla.
Es sabido que desde hace mucho tiempo mas de 400 cirujanos de Cuba han sido entrenados en el robot de operaciones quirurgicas DA VINCI, pero por el US embargo ha sido imposible dotar a los hospitales cubanos con esta herramienta, esto es solo por citar un ejemplo.
La medida de vender parque automotor a empresas privadas cubanas es sabia y la aplaudimos pero de nada vale el gesto de Washington si el bien mas preciado de la poblacion de la isla, el derecho de todos a la salud se deteriora a causa de un US embargo de mas de 60 anos.
La grave escasez de combustible que afecta a toda la isla de Cuba en estos momentos y provoca apagones se debe en gran medida al US embaro que pesa sobre la isla tanto en las transacciones bancarias internacionales como en la penalizacion de tanqueros y suministros tecnologicos para energia que arriben a puertos cubanos, este problema esta afectando seriamente a la gran red de hospitales diseminados a lo largo y lo ancho de toda la isla. Es etico,que en el suministro de energia que se hagan excepciones para centros hospitalarios.
