Medicines languish in warehouse as they are needed in hospitals

HAVANA, July 27 (Carmelo Díaz Fernández, APSIC) - Hundreds of bottles and jars containing medicines needed elsewhere are sitting past their use-by dates on the shelves of the Ministry of Public Health warehouse at Los Maceos, Guantánamo, said sources who work in the public health arena and did not want to be identified.

The medicines, whose names are well-known to Cubans who need them and spend whole days going from one pharmacy to the next looking for them, are wasting away because of a lack of inventory control, said the sources.
