Guantanamo.- Rafael Wilson Pérez, director of public health for Guantánamo Province, called for better organization of medical transportation—particularly emergency and urgent-care services—during a review of these operations at the regular meeting held to assess the province’s socioeconomic development.
The official also reported that measures are being strengthened to increase the operational availability of the ambulance fleet and ensure that vehicles are ready to transport patients to and from other provinces.
The most recent meeting, attended by Guantánamo’s senior authorities, representatives of local enterprises and agencies, and municipal leaders via audioconference, also announced the forthcoming resumption of passenger bus and rail services, with differentiated fares for travel within and outside the province.
Participants conducted a thorough analysis of the process for repairing electrical transformers and its impact on neighborhoods and communities amid the country’s power-generation challenges. They also examined the resulting effects on water-pumping stations.
Another key topic was resolving delays and clearing the backlog in August salary payments for employees of Pedro Agustín Pérez Pediatric Hospital. The discussions also addressed sanitation conditions, solid-waste collection, support for retirees and pensioners, and progress in implementing the commercial circulation plan.
