Pregnant women have to carry buckets of water at a hospital in Cuba due to a lack of basic services

Pregnant patients admitted to the Orlando Pantoja Tamayo General Hospital in Contramaestre, Cuba, are currently required to carry buckets of water up the facility's staircases. This practice is necessary due to a lack of basic utility services within the hospital building.

The situation highlights the ongoing deterioration of hospital infrastructure in the region. The necessity for patients to manually transport water underscores the severity of the service failures currently affecting the medical facility.
