Pharmacy building collapses in provincial town

HAVANA, April 22 (José Antonio Fornaris, Cuba-Verdad / www.cubanet.org) - The roof caved in on the building housing the only pharmacy in Managua, a town in Havana province, leaving residents without ready access to medicines.

The collapsed house was an old wooden structure with a tile roof into which the pharmacy had been moved eight months ago, when the house's former occupant died. The pharmacy had to be moved because its previous home had structural problems and holes in its roof, through which it took in water when it rained.

Residents say they will now have to travel to adjoining Las Guásimas, five kilometers away, to get their medicines.
