Toronto's "Juan Gualberto Gómez" Association of Cuban Residents on Saturday donated medical supplies to Cuba´s Holguín health centers for preventing and controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.

Holguín, Cuba.- On Facebook, the Canadian association announced Saturday afternoon the arrival of syringes, gloves, medicines, face masks, bandages, gauze, and disposable gowns, among other necessary medical supplies, at Holguín's Frank País International Airport.

Dr. Rebeca Robles, an official of Holguín's Provincial Direction of Public Health, recognized the Canadian association's altruistic donation worth over $65,000. This medical donation will be sent to Holguín Children's Hospital.

"This is an example of the ¨Bridge of Love¨ program among brotherly nations, as the US blockade against Cuba is tightened and damages the purchasing of pivotal resources to cover medical and hospital assistance for over one million inhabitants." (PL)
