AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 minutes agoMedicine Access: Catholic charity volunteers are filling gaps as Cuba’s drug shortage deepens: of 603 medicines on the Health Ministry’s basic list, only slightly more than a third are available. In Havana, a Caritas-supported project distributes requested medicines for free, while newly authorized private pharmacies have yet to become a reliable option. Elder Care: Nuns are supporting 102 elderly women in Havana amid blackouts and medicine shortages, while reports of older Cubans living in extreme poverty underline the strain on vulnerable people and caregivers. Disease and Water: Cuba has recorded more than 11,000 dengue cases this year—over nine times the expected average—and limited fumigation is complicating control efforts. Turbid water and reported diarrheal illnesses in Santiago de Cuba add to public health concerns.
