I could never stand Colon Bowel.
WIKI-—An article in Canadian newspaper National Post, based upon interviews of Cubans, finds that:
<><> even the most common pharmaceuticals, aspirin and antibiotics, are conspicuously absent or only available on the black market.
<><> Surgeons lack basic supplies and must re-use latex gloves.
<><> Patients must buy their own sutures on the black market and provide bedsheets and food for extended hospital stays.
The Cuban government blames the shortages on the embargo and states that those with more severe chronic diseases receive medicines.However, other sources suggest that those with such diseases lack medicines. It is also suggested that in some cases the local non-dollar stocks have been shipped abroad.
The U.S. State Department has argued that during the economic depression “the Cuban government made a deliberate decision to continue to spend money to maintain its military and internal security apparatus at the expense of other priorities – including healthcare.”
