[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
BotB's Liz Oliva and Drop Site’s Ryan Grim recently visited the William Soler Pediatric #Hospital in #Havana where they spoke with the chief anesthesiologist, Alioth Fernández, and the parents of some of his patients.
Cuba's public and free #healthcare system was long considered one of the best in the world. Its doctors are top-notch, dedicated and caring. This is a story about what happens when the most powerful country in the world uses economic warfare to deprive a smaller country from obtaining the #medicine it needs to save lives.
The #Cuban government cannot access the international financial system, cannot import freely, cannot buy what its children need — not because of indifference, but because #US sanctions have destroyed the country’s economy and drained the #PublicHealth budget.
