U.S. blockade worsens the lack of medicines in Cuba.
One of the main factors behind the shortage of medicines suffered by Cuba today is the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed and intensified by the U.S. government.
The president of the business group BioCubafarma, Eduardo Martínez explained that in the case of financing for raw materials, although we have the money, there are problems in the payment to suppliers, due to the refusal of the banks to work with Cuba.
This attitude is due to the blockade, a unilateral policy of the United States, said Martínez, quoted by Granma newspaper.
