Dr. Berto Conde: The memories of Fidel's visit continue to beat in the Hospital of Sancti Spíritus

Cuba: Dr. Berto Conde – Memories of Fidel’s Visit Continue to Beat in the Hospital of Sancti Spíritus! (17.7.2026)

“He arrived in the morning, around 9 in the morning, here at the hospital, perhaps a little later. A tour was made and when we arrived at the front of the hospital, there in front of the Central Highway, there was a signpost with the name of the centre, Camino Cienfuegos provincial hospital, in front of where there is currently a CADECA facility there at the entrance of the hospital. He had covered himself with a white cloth and then symbolically removing that cloth left the hospital inaugurated. It was high and then even though the commander… Fidel Castro was a tall man, because he was not enough and there were the members of the board of directors and with our dear director, Dr. Pedro García Alfonso, whom I remember with so much affection, was his daughter, Coralita, who also died painfully for us. And then Fidel carries Coralita, lifts her up and the girl removes the sheet.

“There’s a lot of fear,” he admits. “Fear of not being able, of not being on time, losing more days… It scares us. The effectiveness of the treatment is lost.”
But Yohima does not stop at lamenting. His voice tightens, becomes precise.

“Regardless of all the difficult things we go through, like every good Cuban, we have the heartbeat, the knowledge. And emotions don’t need fuel, they don’t need oil to function.”

And then he shows with pride and relief the walls of his office. Equipped with what you need to spend the night. This small and warm space has something that no blockage can frustrate: a children’s gallery. “The children, when they arrived here, did not want to cross the threshold of the door,” he recalls. A colleague had the idea of distracting them with drawings. “They were accumulating and we were sticking the drawings on the wall, some that had no color, we colored them.” The children came back and saw his work, he motivated them and wanted to bring another one. “The idea is that they make this place a place for them, where everything is fine, where everything is safe.”

Man in Xiamen undergoes five surgeries in five days

China: Five Medical Operations in Five-Days – “Like Being Hit By Truck” – Claims Empowered Fujian Citizen! (30.4.2026)

Netizens jokingly called him a “time management master,” saying the painkillers were “maxed out.”

Li’s case is not unique. In March this year, a 29-year-old man in Shenyang, Liaoning province, underwent five surgeries within a week, including intestinal polyp removal, hemorrhoid surgery, circumcision, mole removal, and two wisdom tooth extractions, according to media reports.

Doctors caution against undergoing multiple elective surgeries in rapid succession. They recommend prioritizing urgent issues based on medical necessity, staging non-emergency procedures, and allowing adequate recovery time.

Young Doctors Oppose US Blockade!

Cuba: Young Doctors Denounce the Criminal Impact of the Blockade! (31.3.2026)

Since 1948, the UK initiated a Soviet-style healthcare system paid for by collective taxation – and delivered free at the point of use for all people. Since 1979, however, various governments – including Labour, have bent to US and EU pressure to get rid of the NHS and replace it with a US style system of insurance-based care dependent upon income and status (the rich receive better care than the poor). The NHS is slowly being dismantled and replaced with a deficient, ruthless, and uncaring healthcare system designed to bankrupt an individual over just one injury or illness that needs specialist treatment. As a consequence, young GPs today trained in the UK think that free healthcare is immoral and that it is both natural and right for people to pay extortionate amounts of money for medical treatment. Eyes, eyes, and teeth already have completely been privatised and the body is following along. People are suffering in the UK during this transition. Between 1991-2000 around 10 million Russian people died from medical neglect following the rapid and sudden withdrawal of free health in the former Soviet Union. A similar situation must have existed in the fourteen other countries that comprised the USSR. The West ignored this atrocity (seeing it as natural) – whilst capitalist (Trotskyite) Russians treated it with a sense of denial. The US is currently attempting to destroy Cuban Socialism – and I think they are very close to achieving this objective. The capitalist world does not care and will accept all kinds of War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity – just as long as any form of Socialism is destroyed.

Compassionate CPC Healthcare Benefits the Nation!

China: CPC to Instigate Nationwide “Free Childbirth” Medical-Care by 2026! (14.12.2025)

Seven provincial-level regions, including Jilin, Jiangsu and Shandong, already provide full coverage for in-hospital childbirth medical expenses within the policy scopes.

Officials noted that the commitment applies to standard medical services. If expecting parents choose premium-priced hospitals, or opt for medications or materials not included in the basic insurance catalogue, those additional expenses will not be reimbursed.

The National Healthcare Security Administration is also planning to expand maternity insurance eligibility to include flexible workers, migrant workers, and people in new forms of employment, among other measures designed to encourage childbirth.

China’s maternity insurance now covers approximately 255 million people.
