Fidel Castro Dead at 90...

[jon_berzerk]

This is from 2004.

There are 35 coordinating centers, serving 169 municipalities, and ambulances are activated and deployed by the designated community healthcare provider when a medical condition requires transport and further stabilization. The SIUM operates 600 basic ambulances, as well as 38 intermediate and 38 intensive care units, most of which are located in the capital city of Havana. That's 12 years ago.

Cuba's Thriving Black Market in Medicine
Valeria Cruz has been selling black market medicines on the streets of Havana for three years. Friendships carefully maintained with several doctors means that she has no problems obtaining enough prescriptions to support her business.

She sells these medications at vastly inflated prices, but shortages in state-run pharmacies mean that many people have no choice but to turn to black market entrepreneurs like her.

“It’s true that the price of medicines is a little high but I have to pay two pesos for the prescriptions then buy the medicine at the pharmacy,” Cruz said. “I have to make money. If not, what will I live from? It works. The profits are obvious.”

Massive corruption throughout the Cuban health system means that this double-tier system is common across the country.

Havana Ambulance Service Crisis

HAVANA TIMES — With only ten or so of its 118 ambulances currently in circulation, Havana’s ambulance service is in extremely critical condition.

A recent meeting between Cuba’s Public Health Vice-Minister Marcia Cobas and several top officials of the Comprehensive Medical Emergency System (SIUM) analyzed complaints from the population, arising from delays in the arrival of ambulances around the city, and addressed the alarming drop in functional vehicles.

“Only 15 percent of the vehicles that make up the city’s ambulance fleet for the seven zones that SIUM services in Havana (North, South, East, West, Center, Boyeros and Cotorro) are operational. Many of the ambulances are in the auto-body shop or awaiting overhauls at the warehouse, because they have a lot of mileage but very little maintenance,” a Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP) official told Cafe Fuerte.

Another serious problem faced by SIUM is the lack of qualified personnel.

Lack of Personnel

“In some of the zones, there are as little as five teams of ambulance workers. They don’t have personnel willing to work for such low wages and under such poor working conditions. You could have 20 operational vehicles for one zone, but, if you don’t have professionals willing to work, this me

Havana Ambulance Service Crisis

there is more a lot more on the topic

What does the black market service have to do with the lies you posted. You stated that Castro's ambulance service was a donkey led cart and when I provided evidence of actual ambulances you stated they were for the rich of other nations. You then provided a number of ambulances that are in only 7 zones for one city, not the entire population.

i have posted no lies idiot

why would anyone need a black market for medical supplies in Cuba

when they have such a freaking wonderful health care system as you pretend they have

They don't have a wonderful healthcare system. They have a piss poor one, but it is free! Don't believe the Moore he is a propagandist.

I remember seeing Bowling for Columbine and he tried to say the NRA was created because racist white men were scared of the newly freed slave. No sir the NRA was created to preserve the Republican's (and Black's) right to defend themselves against the racist KKK Democrats!

If one commends murderous tyrants like Castro, one can expect more leaders like him.

Supporting a political figure is a personal thing, and we all have our priorities.

What doesn't quite make sense, though, is the way many hardcore lefties bristle at being called "communists" and then fawn over this guy.

Fidel Castro, African hero

Cuban President Fidel Castro speaks to South African President Nelson Mandela at the World Trade Organization in Geneva in 1998. (Patrick Aviolat/European Pressphoto Agency)

Following his release after 27 years in prison, Nelson Mandela made sure one of his first trips abroad was to Havana. There, in the Cuban capital in 1991, Mandela lavished his host, Fidel Castro, with appreciation. Castro, said Mandela, was a “source of inspiration to all freedom-loving people.”

The scene might seem paradoxical in some corners of the West. How could the global symbol of African liberation and democracy say such a thing about a man whose death last Friday provoked exiles who fled repressive Cuban rule to dance in Miami's streets? How could Mandela — imprisoned by South Africa's apartheid rulers — find common ground with Castro, who cleared his way to absolute power in Cuba by jailing untold numbers of dissidents?

The answer lies in Cuba's robust, and sometimes pivotal, support for many African groups as they fought to bring the era of colonialism to an end. And now, upon Castro's death, many of the loudest and most unequivocal tributes to him have been voiced by African leaders who inherited the political movements stemming from the independence struggles spanning the 1960s to the 1980s.

Then you must really like George Bush, Africans loved him, especially for his helping control aids.

Silence that forges the soul
Saturday saw a silence reign across the island, of respect, meditation, evocation, because the day before Fidel had left us, and this quiet was the only way we found to honor him

Cuba's Fidel Castro, former president, dies aged 90 - BBC News

Fidel Castro, Cuba's former president and leader of the Communist revolution, has died aged 90, state TV has announced.

It provided no further details.

Fidel Castro ruled Cuba as a one-party state for almost half a century before handing over the powers to his brother Raul in 2008.

His supporters praised him as a man who had given Cuba back to the people. But his opponents accused him of brutally suppressing opposition.

In April, Fidel Castro gave a rare speech on the final day of the country's Communist Party congress.

He acknowledged his advanced age but said Cuban communist concepts were still valid and the Cuban people "will be victorious".

Damn. Now we need to find a new world leader to hate for some reason. Who's running things in Canada right now?

Obammy is inconsolable.

So, if Ruth Bader Ginsburg had the good grace to die on or before Wednesday, it would be the greatest November in history.

Trump president, two old Stalinist piles of shit dead.

Can you dig it?

Tom Morello defended late Cuban president Fidel Castro's legacy in a lengthy social media post where the Rage Against the Machine guitarist praised the controversial leader.

Tom Morello Defends Fidel Castro: 'Huge Hero Throughout the Third World'

"While I don't agree with all that Fidel Castro did there is ample reason why he is vilified in the US and yet remains a huge hero throughout the Third World," Morello wrote.

The Prophets of Rage mastermind then listed Castro's lesser-publicized achievements: "By defying Yankee imperialism for 50 years, instituting the best healthcare, child immunization and literacy systems in the Western Hemisphere (surpassing the US and Canada), exporting doctors to countries in need all over the globe (the Bush administration turned down his offer to send medical teams to New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina), and being an unrepentant advocate of the poor and exploited it is no surprise that millions will mourn his passing."
