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.
