The US embargo on Cuba for more than 60 years and which is causing intense debates and comments in the United States has not only caused dozens of medicines to not exist in allopathic pharmacies but is also affecting the parallel network of natural and traditional medicine of the Ministry of Public Health of Cuba because many essential reagents and process technologies cannot be imported to the island.
Natural medicines are sold to the population in many cases with a prescription but it is difficult for the patient to acquire them because the productions are very low and sporadic due to low technologies and precariousness in imported reagents.
The situation is critical because doctors have been forced to replace non-existent allopathic medicines in pharmacies with alternative medicine treatments that are also becoming difficult. Even acupuncture needles are difficult at hospital level and electrodes in Biomagnetic field treatment. (BioStim Pre-Wired Electrodes Biomedical)
