Cortés residents have no medical service

HAVANA, June 14 (Carmelo Díaz Fernández, APSIC) - Residents of Cortés, in western Pinar del Río province, have no medical service since the doctor in charge was transferred out in March and not replaced.

One resident, Deysi C. Crespo, said the people with the most urgent need for medical care are about 20 older patients, five of whom are diabetics. "The situation is complicated by the crisis in transportation, because there is no way to take sick people to the nearest town," she said.
