Tegucigalpa, July 9 (teleSUR-RHC) Hondurans go to the public hospitals with illnesses and injuries every day. Yet, most leave without getting any medical attention.
“Here we have very bad administration. The government does not invest in medicines,” says Alla Santos, a patient at one of the country’s public hospitals. “I had to buy my own pills. I had to buy everything.”
Shortages in medicine and too few doctors exacerbate Honduras’ health care system, which is already facing a massive multi-million-dollar scandal. The country is impoverished and currently has no choice but to tolerate a system marred by corruption.
