Dairon Calderín, 41 years old, husband of Jenni M. Taboada, mother of the political prisoner from the 11J protests Duannis Dabel León Taboada, passed away this Wednesday in Havana after spending more than eight days hospitalized at the Salvador Allende Clinical Surgical Hospital, known as La Covadonga.

The activists Anamely Ramos González and Tania Tasé reported on social media that the man passed away after a gradual deterioration of health, without timely medical attention that he needed.

According to their testimonies, Dairon walked into the hospital, although he had a hemoglobin level of just five grams per deciliter. In the following days, that figure would drop to three, while he experienced loss of consciousness, black vomiting, and severe respiratory difficulties.

Despite his condition, his family reported that the medical staff was resistant to transferring him to intensive care.

Anamely Ramos recounted that, just hours before his passing, a doctor assured Jenni that her husband “only has that,” referring to the low hemoglobin, and that he did not need to be admitted to intensive care.

Desperate about her husband’s situation, Jenni conducted several live broadcasts from the hospital during the early hours, demanding that those responsible for attending to him and administering blood be located.
