Santiago de Cuba has once again witnessed a tragedy highlighting the collapse of the island's healthcare system. Yordanis Beltrán Beltrán, a 42-year-old former police officer, died due to medical negligence, lack of medications and supplies, and a critical delay in receiving urgent care. Despite the seriousness of the situation, the ambulance took over two hours to arrive, a delay that proved to be crucial. The family attempted to seek help by contacting the government's command center, but they claim their pleas went unanswered. Some point out the irony of Yordanis's situation: a former patrol officer who once defended the regime, ultimately neglected by the very government he served.
