No aspirin in Cienfuegos' pharmacies
CIENFUEGOS, Cuba -June 22 (Luis Miguel
González, Cubanacán Press
/ www.cubanet.org) - Aspirins have disappeared
from Cienfuegos' pharmacies in the last
few months.
Enrique Toledo, a resident of the Pueblo
Grifo subdivision, learned recently that
there haven't been any aspirins sold in
local pharmacies after he went looking himself.
He said he has to take aspirin daily for
a cardiac condition.
"If I don't find the medicine, my
health will get worse," he said.
Toledo said that visiting several pharmacies,
he was repeatedly told to look for aspirin
in the hard currency pharmacies, a suggestion
he found insulting, as he doesn't have access
to hard currency.
A man who works in the medicine warehouse
in Cienfuegos, who asked that his name not
be used, said the reason there are no aspirins
in the local pharmacies is that lately the
stocks have been shipped to Venezuela, Haiti,
and Perú.
