New CAT scanner out of order "until further notice"

SANTA CLARA, Cuba - November 7 (Guillermo Fariñas, Cubanacán Press /
www.cubanet.org) - A new Siemens CAT scanner installed scarcely six
months ago in the Arnaldo Milián Castro provincial hospital here is out
of order "until further notice" according to Dr. Ismelys Iglesias.

The equipment, one of only five in Cuba, is under guarantee and will be
checked by the manufacturer, said sources at the hospital.

The outage is seriously impacting patients, who must travel the 30 miles
to Sagua la Grande to use much older technology.
