Doctors Confront Crisis Amid Sanctions
Cuba's medical professionals face severe shortages of medicine and supplies, compounded by widespread power outages, as the country endures ongoing U.S. sanctions, CBS News reports.
Healthcare workers are struggling to provide basic care amid chronic supply chain disruptions, with officials acknowledging that the situation is deteriorating, Havana Times notes.
The economic strain has led to a growing number of doctors leaving the country for better opportunities abroad, as the healthcare system struggles under mounting pressure, per ABC News.
International observers have noted that the U.S. embargo continues to severely impact daily life in Cuba, affecting not only medical supplies but also food and energy access, according to Ticotimes.
