Long road to recovery for Puerto Rico pharmaceuticals
As inhabitants begin to rebuild their lives after the devastation of hurricane Maria, the island’s drug manufacturers are recovering slowly
Puerto Rico is a hub of pharmaceutical manufacturing, and the devastation wrought by hurricane Maria has affected that industry, although it remains to be seen how badly. The storm battered the US island territory with sustained winds of up to 155 miles per hour. As of 4 October, 95% of the island remains without electric power, many roads are still impassable and only about 45% of residents have access to drinking water.
