The Venezuelan government has established automatic distribution centers as part of a project to improve medical supplies in the South American country.

The new move since May is expected to help the government seek a direct distribution of needed drugs to the country's 242 hospitals and about 13,500 clinics, according to a report from Xinhua, the Chinese stare news agency.

The move is necessary because "companies focus on big pharmacy chains, leaving many other pharmacies not well supplied and stocked," government official Wilmer Baez told Xinhua.
