This came to Cuba News from Walter Teague whom many of us may remember for his Support-the-National Liberation Front efforts during the Vietnam War. Fred Feldman Friends, Just now, I saw the first real reporting on the presence and commendable work of the Cuban doctors in Port-au-Prince, Haiti on CNN TV. At 1:45 am, EST, Sunday, 1/17/10 CNN allowed a reporter to praise at length the Cuban doctors who were providing orderly, efficient, and quality medical treatment at the La Paz hospital. He contrasted it with the chaos and woefully inadequate circumstances elsewhere. Also, some reports are showing up on the web. For example: newstratitstimes Sunday, January 17, 2010, 03.41 PM http://tinyurl.com/yfh9ovd "Cuban aid workers have taken charge of the De la Paz Hospital, since its doctors have not appeared after the quake. They complained of a lack of anaesthetica, serum, plaster, and orthopedic materials to conduct amputations or fix the broken bones. The injured were dying at the hospitals, they said. Meanwhile, many Haitians waited in a line to be treated by the Chinese doctors on the plaza in front of the building used to be the prime minister's office. 'Doctors and medicine are of great need here (..) I hope more rescue teams join us," said Hou Shike, a doctor with the Chinese rescue team.'" Meanwhile, De la Paz Hospital is in operation thanks to the work of a Cuban brigade, while the Haitian directives and workers of that center are absent. Al Jazeera Port-Au-Prince, Jan. 15, 2010 (Xinhua) http://tinyurl.com/yjrbsl3 "Sara Salas, a Cuban doctor now working in that hospital said that they need anesthesia, serum, plaster, and orthopedic materials to cut or stabilize the fractures of the patients."
