Holguín´s health system is implementing measures to ensure the continuity of medical services in the face of the intensified US blockade against the Caribbean island.

Results in controlling the disease "have been affected in recent years by the limitations and restrictions of the blockade". Despite the severe limitations imposed by the economic blockade imposed by the U.S. government, Cuba maintains and develops its Comprehensive Cancer Control Program, reaffirming its constant commitment to the life and health of its people.

Holguín province faces a serious health problem with cancer, which remains the second leading cause of death among non-communicable diseases.
