Sanitary napkins disappear from drugstore shelves

CIENFUEGOS, Cuba - July 12 (Luis Miguel González, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org) - There has been a shortage of sanitary napkins at local drug stores for the past three months.

Aida Rivero, a clerk at the "Tulipán" pharmacy, said that customers have been forced to use rags or pillow stuffing.

Sanitary napkins are available at dollar stores but at an elevated price.

Said frustrated customer Maritza Sánchez, "The health of the people doesn't matter to the government, just the image it projects to the world of a medical power."
