The renowned Cuban actress Diana Rosa Suárez has left the intensive care unit of the Cardiovascular Hospital in Havana, where she was hospitalized after overcoming ischemia that put her life at risk.

This episode adds to his medical history in recent months, which included a heart attack that occurred in Guyana while he was applying for a visa at the United States Embassy.
While she was admitted to a public hospital in Georgetown, Guyana, the actress received constant medical care and was discharged at the end of October, although the exact date of her return to Cuba was not specified.
The reason for the trip to Guyana was linked to the Cuban actress’ desire to visit her grandchildren and nieces in the United States, a goal that was interrupted due to her health problems.
It should be noted that Diana Rosa Suárez is one of the most emblematic figures of the Cuban artistic scene, with a career that spans decades of work in film, television and theater.
Last August, she celebrated her 80th birthday surrounded by colleagues and friends, in an event that highlighted her professional legacy and charisma.
In this way, both her loved ones and her followers now hope that the artist will continue to recover little by little, and thus have a new opportunity to process her documents to arrive in the United States.

How can friends and family best support an elderly loved one recovering from a serious health condition?
Interview between Time.news Editor and Health Expert Dr. Maria Velasco
Editor: Welcome, Dr. Velasco. Thank you for joining us today. We are pleased to share the uplifting news about Diana Rosa Suárez, the beloved Cuban actress who has recently stepped out of intensive care after a battle with ischemia. Could you start by explaining what ischemia is and how it typically affects a person’s health?
Dr. Velasco: Thank you for having me. Ischemia occurs when blood flow to a certain part of the body is restricted, leading to a shortage of oxygen and nutrients necessary for cellular function. This condition can have severe implications, particularly if it affects vital organs like the heart or brain, which can potentially put the person’s life at risk.
Editor: That certainly sounds serious. Fortunately, it seems that Ms. Suárez has made significant progress. What does her transition from intensive care to a recovery room indicate about her condition?
Dr. Velasco: Moving from the intensive care unit to a recovery room is a positive sign. It suggests that her medical team has successfully managed her condition, and she is stable enough to be monitored in a less critical environment. This transition often signals the beginning of rehabilitation and recovery, where patients can regain their strength and improve their overall health.
Editor: Her age, 80, adds another layer of complexity. What are some challenges that older adults face when recovering from serious health issues like ischemia?
Dr. Velasco: Indeed, age plays a significant role in recovery. Older adults often have pre-existing conditions or less resilience, which can complicate their recovery. They may experience slower healing times, increased risk of complications, and more pronounced side effects from medications. Additionally, support from healthcare professionals and family members becomes critical to help manage their overall well-being during recovery.
Editor: It sounds like a holistic approach to care is vital. How important is it for friends, family, and community support during this recovery period?
Dr. Velasco: Extremely important. Emotional and social support can significantly enhance a patient’s healing process. Engaging with loved ones can reduce feelings of loneliness and anxiety, which are common during hospitalization and recovery. Moreover, family involvement can help ensure that the patient adheres to treatment plans and engages in physical rehabilitation, which is essential for a full recovery.
Editor: As we celebrate Diana Rosa Suárez’s recovery, what advice would you give to her fans who wish to support her during this time?
Dr. Velasco: Fans can show their support by sending positive messages and well-wishes through social media or fan clubs, which can be uplifting for someone recovering from a health issue. Additionally, respecting her privacy as she focuses on her recovery is crucial. Understanding that the healing process takes time is important for both her and her supporters.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. Velasco. It’s reassuring to know that the community plays a vital role in recovery. We wish Diana Rosa Suárez a smooth and speedy recovery, and we will continue to follow her progress.
Dr. Velasco: Thank you. It’s a pleasure to be here, and I echo those wishes for her continued health and recovery.
