Statement by representative of mediCUBA-Suisse, Luisa Gómez, during side event: “Health in Cuba under the siege of The blockade”

Luisa Gómez, from mediCuba-Suisse, denounced at a side event that the U.S. blockade, worsened in recent years, hinders healthcare in Cuba as well as the association's own work in Switzerland. She illustrated this with three cases: the impossibility of procuring GeneXpert equipment for HIV monitoring, the rejection of ventilator orders by Swiss companies affiliated with a U.S. corporation, and bank blockades triggered simply by the word 'Cuba.' She concluded that the right to health cannot be separated from the material conditions that make it effective, and that access to healthcare should not be limited by commercial, financial, or political restrictions.
