Havana – The Catholic Church sees an urgent need to seek "new formulas," including an opening to private enterprise, in order to heal Cuba's health-care system, which has deteriorated as a result of corruption, lack of funds and an unstable professional environment.
In an article posted on the Web site of the Catholic magazine Palabra Nueva, editor Orlando Marquez acknowledges that the 1959 Cuban Revolution achieved some notable social triumphs including health care, but the end of economic aid from the now-defunct Soviet Union gave way to a chronic crisis.
"Ever since the conditions that permitted and guaranteed that praiseworthy health-care program disappeared, it has been an urgent matter to find new formulas to restore it and guarantee its stability," Marquez says.
