Insights by Echo AI
Cuba has approved at least 14 projects for private pharmacies, with the first expected to begin operations soon. However, these pharmacies will have to import drugs through state-owned companies Medicuba and Farmacuba, and will not be able to sell hospital drugs or products classified as drugs. The move comes amidst a severe medicine shortage due to U.S. sanctions, with only 30% of essential medicines currently available in the country.
