Health indicators evaluated at Vladimir I. Lenin Hospital

Ernesto Santiesteban Velázquez, first secretary of the Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba in Holguín province, called for quality service to the population during his visit to the Vladimir Ilich Lenin General University Hospital to evaluate the fulfillment of health indicators.

During the tour, the top political leader of Holguin exchanged with members of the institution’s Board of Directors about the main limitations affecting the performance of this institution, among them the lack of supplies, transportation and the shortage of professionals due to immigration.

“We know the effort that health workers are making. The most important thing is that most of these professionals, despite the limitations, suffering the U.S. economic, financial and commercial blockade every day, also facing a demanding people, do their best to continue defending a sector that is not only a conquest but the essence of the Cuban Revolution”.

At Lenin hospital, some workers highlighted the recovery work as one of the alternatives used to avoid limiting services, mainly in emergency services and surgical interventions.

The meeting at Lenin hospital ended with an interaction with pregnant women and their families, who expressed their satisfaction with the care provided by the hospital’s doctors, nurses and other paramedical personnel.
