Doctor Ernesto Guevara de la Serna General Teaching Hospital is an example in comprehensive health care, not only for residents in the province of Las Tunas but also for those who come from the municipalities of Calixto García (Holguín), Río Cauto (Granma) and Guáimaro (Camagüey).

Cuba: If All Life is Extinguished! (13.2.2026)

Ana María Madrazo Mejías is torn between the uncertainty of seeing her mother sick and the satisfaction she feels for the care lavished on her by the doctors and nurses of the Cardiology service.

“She came from the municipality of Colombia, because she was diagnosed with low heart failure. She was immediately attended to by wonderful doctors who have given us all the information about her condition.

“He needed a transient pacemaker and they put it in. Now we are waiting for them to take her to Holguín or Bayamo to put a permanent one on her. Thanks to this Revolution, my mother will be able to have another few years of life.

“I hope that the president of the United States does not make the situation we have more difficult.”

Dr. Adrián Hernández Carballo is the head of service of the intensive care unit of the Doctor Ernesto Guevara de la Serna Hospital, a “purely technological” area that is among the three with the best results in the country, “thanks to the medical and nursing team we have here.”

There, despite the scarcity of medical supplies, all treatments are carried out with precision. And this is attested to by the recovered patients and their families, who arrive from the other existing therapy rooms in the province, to centralize resources.

In relation to seriously pregnant women, excellence in services is sought, and for more than a year none has died. This is one of the indicators that the Washington government wants to reverse with its inhumane measures to hurt the Cuban population.

Cuba: Ariannis Turns Her “Cancer” Struggle into a Hope for Life! (5.2.2026)

After receiving the news of her daughter’s illness, Martínez Scull said that she wakes up every day grateful to God for giving her the strength to face her daughter’s condition, which has become her only priority.

Despite the country’s difficulties, this young woman recognized the effort made by the Cuban Health System (delivered “free” at the point of use) to meet Ariannis’ needs, from her transfer from Yumurino territory, to her entire process in the hospital.

She also stressed that although she lacks many resources, she has no words to thank the doctors for the effort they make so that her daughter receives the most effective treatment for her condition.

On a day commemorating World Cancer Day, Cuba does not give up on its intention to ensure the living conditions of its patients, despite the fact that the tightening of the U.S. blockade greatly hinders this high-priority management for the nation.

Cuba: Celebrating May Day – and the “Bay of Pigs” Victory for Socialism! (1.5.2023)

Indeed, when the US-CIA invasion began, the ordinary Cuban people massed together and without waiting for orders from above, they themselves began to create columns of Volunteers, which immediately went into the battle zone to stop the enemy, armed with whatever they already had or could find! Many went into battle “unarmed”! More than a thousand captured US-CIA mercenaries were exchanged by Cuba for medicines and agricultural equipment – forcing the United States to temporarily violate the conditions of the criminal economic blockade of the island – which has been going on now – due to the inherent corruption of President Kennedy – for 63 years!
