Most drugs, the report said, treat conditions related to eye-related issues, as well as contraceptive pills, which have reportedly all but disappeared from Venezuela. Most of these drugs, it was found, were expired or were about to expire.

At least five Cuban doctors have been detained as a result, one of whom only claimed to have delivered a package to a third party without knowing the contents of it or the real risk involved.

 

A source consulted by Las Américas Journal claimed these doctors were used as mules by the leaders of the health care systems of both countries.
