Cuban nurse remains in intensive care in Pachuca

Mayelín González Fernández, a Cuban nurse who had lived in Mexico for about four years, was admitted to intensive care. She lives in Pachuca, Hidalgo, where her husband is with her.

The family turned to social media to request financial help with hospitalization expenses. From Cuba, her niece Greter Eduardo González Mejías said her aunt remained in critical condition as of Monday afternoon.

González Fernández had COVID-19 about a month earlier. The previous week, she began experiencing severe abdominal pain that progressively worsened. According to information shared by the family, she first went to a public hospital and was later transferred to a private clinic, where she underwent emergency surgery.

During surgery, doctors reportedly found an intestinal perforation and severe contamination of the abdominal cavity, with possible complications affecting other organs. The family requested support, particularly from Cubans living in Mexico, and shared her niece’s number for assistance: +53 5416 7806.
