The dispatch of doctors to Venezuela
causes shortage in medical services in Cuba
HAVANA, March 2 (www.cubanet.org) - A
woman suffering from back pains says she
could not be attended at a Havana clinic
because the three doctors usually on duty
had been sent to Venezuela.
Estela Sánchez said she was barely
able to get herself to the Pain Clinic.
Once there, she said she was told: All the
doctors have been sent to Venezuela.
She said a work colleague then took her
to the Fructuoso Rodríguez Hospital
where she underwent an acupuncture treatment
which lessened the pain.
There are reportedly 10,000 Cuban doctors
on duty in Venezuela.
