The Public Health Law approved by Cuba’s National Assembly of People’s Power generates expectations among the population because of its impact on the Caribbean island’s healthcare system.

According to the director of the provincial hospital of Ciego de Avila, Dr. Alberto Moronta, the regulation endorses the constitutional principle of respect for free and quality access to health services in the country.

Moronta pointed out that the legal instrument reinforces and adapts to modern times the duties and rights of people who access healthcare services, as well as the due protection of workers in this vital sector of society.

The young parliamentarian assured that the regulation is in line with the international regulatory framework and the health systems in the world, while strengthening the strategic vision towards the future of Cuban medicine.
