Варто пам’ятати про безкоштовні медичні послуги, хіміотерапію, радіо та наркотики на Кубі для всіх кубинців без черги, навіть якщо вони дуже дорогі, як у спеціальності онкології.

It is worth remembering the free medical services,chemotherapy, radio and drugs in Cuba for all Cubans without waiting list, even if they are highly expensive like those in the specialty of Oncology.


 

 The official start-up, this August 13, of a 16-slice computerized axial tomography (CT) scan at the Holguín Territorial Oncology Center opens a new stage in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors in patients from the Holguín provinces, Las Tunas and Granma, due to the high technological possibilities of the German-made equipment.

Dr. Luis Mario Zaldívar Pérez, a second-degree specialist in Radiology, said that despite the new CT scan not being one of the highest in number of cuts, it does have a software system capable of making up for the difference and obtaining larger images. quality.

COVID-19 and culture.El COVID-19 y la cultura.COVID-19 și cultură.



By Gualterio Nunez Estrada, Sarasota, Florida.

During the Middle Ages, when Europe was decimated by several plague epidemics, the only way to contain the epidemic was quarantines, the isolation of the infected, because, as it happens to us today, there were no medicines to cure the disease, much less vaccines.

COVID-19 is uncontrollable in Florida, where I live with my wife and family, that's why I feel directly involved in a danger zone where many enter a hospital saying goodbye to the family with a smile and three days later they are a corpse infected that has to be buried stealthily, without ceremony.

I think that to control the new coronavirus and its deadly expansion we have good references of the medical culture in the CDC of the United States.

Precisely Cuba, ninety miles from the Florida coast, following the guidelines of the United States CDC and the American Medical Clinics, has managed to control the pandemic with only 87 deaths, while the state of Florida has more than 6,500 deaths.
In Cuba no child has died, in Florida several have died, including a 9-year-old girl recently.

In Cuba there are 2,588 cases while in Florida we go for 460.000
It is obvious that in the case of Cuba the approach of the United States CDC has managed to control the pandemic while in Florida the opposite has happened.

Florida 10,000 cases a day, Cuba exceptionally in one day 19 cases.

And that is the reason why I start to think that the solution is not in the amount of money you have, nor in the resources, but in that asset more precious than gold and diamond, the one that decides the true victory, that logistics that never betrays you, in short ... what the Greeks called Paideia and that today we opaquely translate with the word "culture".

The Cuban doctors, updated 24 hours around, as soon as the United States FDA update, the only thing they have had done to control the COVID-19 pandemic is to faithfully follow the guidelines of the North American doctors, especially the powerful influence in Cuba of the community of Florida doctors within the island's medical community and the United States Health System, although notoriously dysfunctional, it is still an international reference in terms of Health,with notorious credit and scientific evidence in the Cuban population right now, in the cuban authorities, in his doctors, that the United States is the first biotechnological power on earth.

It is not the North American doctors or the Health System of the United States that have put us in a dead end in Florida, the greatest scientific evidence is Cuba, only ninety miles away.

Sarasota, Florida residents living on the doorstep of Hell should ask themselves:

? What has failed in the control of COVID-19 if the responsibility does not fall on the North American medical community that acts correctly, where is the "iceberg" that will end up paralyzing the economy of the state of Florida, whether it wants it or not, completely?

Durante la Edad Media, cuando a Europa la diezmaron varias epidemias de peste, la unica forma de contener la epidemia fueron las cuarentenas, el aislamiento de los infectados porque tal y como nos pasa hoy no habia medicinas que curaran la enfermedad y mucho menos vacunas.

Cuban doctors provided a great contribution in Italy. Do you think that in Colombia they cannot do it?

Daniel Quintero, Mayor of Medellín expressed that "life is above politics", in response to the attacks of uribismo. / Private file

 Colombia: The mayor of Medellín, Daniel Quintero, who asked Cuba for medical personnel - which earned him an onslaught of uribismo -, this Monday the president stayed on the call and urged not to put politics into life.
“The teaching that the coronavirus leaves behind - beyond ideologies, country borders and visions - is that it attacked us all and needs all of us together. We need to recognize ourselves as humans, if we don't recognize that in this pandemic we lost the task, "he added.

Quintero defended that with measures of this caliber he seeks to prepare the health system and "not wait until it is needed." In this line, I said that although there are fans in hospitals, there are no experts in their management, hence the need for more personnel.
