US Fascism Has Been Attack Cuba for Decades!

Cuba: Blockade Upon Blockade: Collective Punishment Increases! (7.5.2026)

Logically, the key sectors of the economy continue to be a direct target, such as energy, the military or defense, metals and mining, security and finance, but it does not mean that they are the only ones, because they are charged against those who provide substantial aid, financial, material and technological support. In other words, anyone can be subject to sanctions, and the result is to prevent people from entering Cuba from the large investment to that individual help that provides the medicine that a sick child urgently needs. Because the blockade and each new order, measures or strategies that expand it, that extend its scope, do nothing more than accentuate the suffering of a people, in whose collective punishment they have been committed sick with hatred and impotence.

"When I Grow Up - I Want to Be Like You" - Doctor & Mum Cut from the Same Cloth!

Cuba: “When I Grow Up – I Want to Be Like You” – Doctor & Mum Cut from the Same Cloth! (5.5.2026)

“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.

Cuba: The Socialist Ambulance Service – The Sound of Life! (1.4.2026)

When you dial 104 on the phone, on the other end of the line not only operators answer. They answer stories. And, in Ciego de Ávila, these stories have not been written for more than a decade: that of a deceased on board an ambulance.

Reimundo Pineda Estrada, a graduate in Nursing – and in Economics – in charge of Human Resources at the Regional Ambulance Base of Ciego de Ávila, says it with the confidence of someone who knows every statistic, every route, every man and woman who makes up the Integrated Medical Emergency Service (SIUM) in the province, of which he is the founder.

“So far we have not had any loss of human life during the transfer to the healthcare centers,” he says. And the phrase, said like this, without fuss, weighs like an ingot. Because behind that statement there are ten years of statistics, two decades without a final sigh inside a mobile unit, with thousands of patients transferred within the province and outside it.

Ten years in more than 6,000 square kilometres of Ávila’s geography – and beyond the limits of the province – figures that no medical report can fully reflect.

European Solidarity Convoy to Cuba - Let Cuba Breath!

Cuba: European Solidarity Convoy Arrives in Havana! (18.3.2026)

Also a French MEP, Emma Fourreau, insisted that the first thing to do for the cause of the Caribbean nation is to talk to the whole world about it and how it is affected by the economic war that is being applied to it.

In this way, she pointed out that by knowing first-hand the Cuban reality they will be able to be better spokespersons for the Cuban struggle at the international level.

“The most important thing is to listen and learn what Cubans have to say; This is a first step, a symbolic action that will attract the attention of the rest of the planet,” she concluded.

Cuba’s ambassador to Italy, Jorge Luis Cepero, went to Rome’s Fiumicino Airport on Tuesday to bid farewell to the members of the European Solidarity Convoy that left for Havana.

The diplomat highlighted in statements to reporters at that air terminal the relevance of the gesture, a sign of the close ties of friendship that unite the peoples of Italy and Cuba, and of the strong rejection in this nation of the genocidal economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States against the island.

China: Brain-Computer-Interface Gives Hope to Paralyzed People! (12.12.2025)

“For example, if a patient sees a flame and wants to move away, that ‘wanting’ signal is captured by the chip and converted into a command to move the hand,” he added.

While the foundational BCI research began decades ago in the West, Chinese teams are now rapidly advancing the technology.

In July 2025, Nature reported that “China is rising swiftly in the field of brain-computer interfaces”, with devices that even outperform Elon Musk’s Neuralink project in certain aspects.

“Although China does not have as long a research history in the field as the United States, development is extremely fast,” Qu said, noting China’s advantages in medical infrastructure and its population scale for testing.

Patients’ hopes lifted

The BCI device developed by Shanghai StairMed is particularly remarkable. With 64 electrodes — each only 1 percent of the width of a human hair — it is one of the smallest and least invasive implantable BCIs in the world. The first male recipient has already used it to play chess and video racing games.
