Cuba's Prime Minister, Manuel Marrero Cruz, expressed confidence that the nation can overcome the current health crisis triggered by the dengue outbreak. This optimism comes amidst one of the most severe epidemiological situations in recent years, with the virus actively spreading across several provinces and hospitals nearing capacity. The meeting, attended by Vice President Salvador Valdés Mesa, also tackled economic issues and social program support, although the health crisis dominated the discussions. In Ciro Redondo, Ciego de Ávila, residents report living amid foul-smelling water and larvae for over a month, with no response or effective action from authorities. Marrero urged discipline, leadership action, and a “fighting spirit” to overcome the health crisis.
