MOURE LORENZO, Sonia; INIGUEZ ROJAS, Luisa; FERNANDEZ MANZANO, Edita e PEREZ PINERO, Julia S. Territorial differentiation in community-based pharmaceutical services in Havana. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2007, vol.33, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3127.
The community-based pharmaceutical services have not been thoroughly studied in Cuba. The objective of this paper is to characterize these services in the City of Havana province using the estimation of the number of inhabitants per drugstore, of drugstores per inhabitant, of drugstores per 10 000 pop., of inhabitants per Bachelor of Pharmacy, of Bachelors per 10 000 pop., of Bacherlors per drugstore and of drugstores per doctor´s offices. The results made it possible to identify Old Havana, Eastern Havana, Centro Habana and Boyeros municipalities as the territories that faced the most unfavorable situation in terms of number of inhabitants per drugstore whereas the situation of Cotorro municipality was much more favorable. Territorial differentiation in the prevalence of some chronic diseases and the distribution of services were unrelated. Generally, the results showed great inter-municipal heterogeneity of community-based pharmaceutical services, being more extensive in the health areas. Some proposals for increasing efficiency and effectiveness of these services were put forward
