A bridge between hope and survival

In a transportation office in Sancti Spíritus, the tension is palpable. Officials from that agency, Taxis Cuba, and the Health Ministry are crunching numbers, making calls, and searching for alternatives. Fuel is scarce, but lives cannot wait. Every liter counts, and every decision carries weight. And although the situation is difficult, the authorities’ resolve is unwavering. The transport of patients requiring hemodialysis must continue.

Each day is a puzzle to maintain this service. Fuel cards are distributed, routes are adjusted, and drivers wait for patients. It’s a commitment from those who know that behind every trip lies a lifeline. More than a hundred residents of Sancti Spíritus province depend on hemodialysis at hospitals. Three times a week, they must arrive punctually from distant municipalities to receive the treatment that keeps them alive.

The patients arrive in vehicles from the Taxis Cuba agency, some tired, others grateful, but all aware that without this transportation, the treatment would be impossible. It’s more than a service; it’s a bridge between hope and survival.

In the midst of the energy crisis, Sancti Spíritus is finding ways to keep life going. At a transportation office, the calls never stop, and liters of gasoline are measured with precision. As long as there are hands to calculate fuel and engines to start, picking up hemodialysis patients will remain possible.
