HAVANA (AP): Every Thursday and Sunday at noon, dozens of people gather outside an apartment building in Havana’s Vedado neighbourhood. Laura Mendoza comes downstairs, checks their names against a list, and hands out medicine they requested through WhatsApp. Antihistamines, diuretics, eye drops and antibiotics are among the drugs she distributes. She charges nothing.
