Nuevitas, 2025.- Different negative criteria are generated these days in the municipality of Nuevitas regarding the Medibus service -for patients who need to travel to planned medical appointments in the hospitals of Camagüey city.
The question is that if we add to the increase in the number of personnel in need of specialized care in the province's institutions the technical problems that the traditional means of transport presents and the fact that the alternative adopted has fewer seats, definitely, although it solves the situation for some, it gives rise to dissatisfaction of many others.
The simple fact of being sick already causes physical and emotional discomfort, so it is necessary to consider the possibility of taking further action to avoid the trip becoming another source of discomfort.
At each bus stop, the drivers check the list and if a patient is missing, they ask about the patient's whereabouts so that person does not miss the bus, and this is the best thing about the service according to several people.
But even so, to say just a few examples, it is difficult to face the uncomfortable two-hour journey for those who have just received serums as part of an oncology treatment or older adults with circulatory or bone problems.
It should be clarified that the Health sector pays for the transfer service, but since the Transport Base does not have other means of transportation available with greater capacity, the support of the local government and local centers is necessary.
It also contributes considerably to the movement of innovators in the territory and the transport union, who continuously look for options to replace damaged parts and equipment to transport sick people to the City of Tinajones.
It is a situation known to all, but the reality calls for a greater effort to relieve these people who need health and emotional understanding.
