Family requests repair of medical equipment for urgent cancer surgery in La Libertad
In the La Libertad region of Peru, a patient named Cipriano de la Cruz is waiting for urgent surgery to treat bladder cancer. However, the operation cannot currently be performed because an essential machine at the local hospital is broken. This situation has caused great concern among his family.
The patient's sister, Hermelinda de la Cruz, contacted the media to request immediate help from the Ministry of Health. According to her testimony, the family is desperate because Cipriano's health is delicate and time is a critical factor when dealing with oncological diseases.
The main problem is that the medical equipment necessary for this specific surgical intervention is not working. Without this machine, specialists cannot proceed with the operation, leaving the patient in a dangerous waiting situation while his illness could progress.
The family is making a public appeal to regional and national authorities to repair the equipment urgently or seek an alternative, such as a transfer to another health center. This case highlights the challenges many citizens face in receiving adequate and timely medical care in the country's provinces.
