Contramaestre local government has worked hard to counteract the effects of the economic crisis on the sectors of food production and public health.
Public health carried out an arduous joint action with several community factors to confront the proliferation of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, the transmitting agent of dengue, a disease that had a strong presence in the territory and that, thanks to the intersectoral work and the support of the population, could be controlled. In our municipality, so far this year, 34 cases of Covid-19 have been diagnosed, with no positive cases at this time. Thanks to the scientific contribution of the country and the vaccination of the population, it was possible to increase the immunological status of people and today in Cuba there is no resurgence of the disease that severely affects other parts of the world.
Food production and health top priorities
A part from food production and public health, the territory had an active participation in several political processes such as the referendum for the approval of the Family Code, the nomination of candidates for delegates of the People’s Power and the constitution of the Municipal Assembly of the People’s Power.
It is the purpose for the year 2023 to improve the economic situation of the municipality and with it the satisfaction of many of the needs of the population, which can be answered in local development, in the improvement of the government management system, in food production, in the development of economic actors and productive chains, in the increase of the services offered to the population and their quality.
The government’s efforts have been focused on food production, the development of economic actors and productive chains, the increase in the services offered to the population and their quality, including the family care system, the fight against illegal activities and high prices, the strengthening of work in neighborhoods and communities, the improvement of social programs with an emphasis on education and health care for vulnerable families, attention to demographic dynamics and housing policy, as well as the development of computerization and communications.
The scenario of the year that ended was adverse. … but the people from Contramaestre, worthy followers of the legacy of their martyrs, for more than 60 years have maintained the capacity for resistance, intelligence, as well as a firm patriotic conviction and have decided to give continuity to the revolution, to “unite and win”, despite the economic blockade, despite the Covid-19. Convinced that with the effort of all of us we will win.
