Puerto Rican Syndemics: Opiates, Overdoses, HIV, and the Hepatitis C Virus in a Context of Ongoing Crises
2020
Overview
Puerto Rico is undergoing serious political and socioeconomic crises. Before the recent political turmoil forcing the resignation of (now former) Governor Ricardo Rossello, massive government debt had already led to unrest because of unpopular austerity measures (e.g., pension cuts, shrinking public education, and hospital closures). Additionally, a decades-long financial crisis had already triggered large-scale emigration from Puerto Rico (a colony of the United States) to the continental United States, a phenomenon that was significantly augmented by Hurricane Maria in 2017. Puerto Rico's vulnerability to natural disasters is compounded with its adverse political and socioeconomic conditions to create an exceptionally unstable public health environment.
