Shortage of doctors results in the closure
of five clinics
CIENFUEGOS, Cuba - August 2 (Vicente Pérez
Varela, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org)
- A shortage of doctors caused mainly by
the loan of doctors to Venezuela has resulted
in the closure of four of five clinics in
a Cienfuegoes district.
Doctors in three clinics in the Junco Sur
district were sent to Cuba while the doctor
in another was transferred to a military
unit.
"They've undressed one saint to dress
another," said Olga Alonso, a resident
in the district.
The government has assigned nurses to help
fill the gap caused by the departure of
the doctors.
