Patients at the Doctor Ernesto Guevara de la Serna General Teaching Hospital benefit from 10 lines, including medical supplies and medicines, donated by the initiative A Cuba hay que quererla (Cuba must be loved), of the Cuban Canary Association, resulting from the coordinated work with the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR).
Las Tunas, Cuba.- Almost all pharmacological groups are present, from antihypertensives and their similar ones to others such as analgesics, said Elianis Gómez Velázquez, deputy director of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Media at the main health institution in this eastern province.
The medicines received are exactly those that have been in short supply, which increases the value of this aid, she emphasized.
In recent years, Cuba's difficulties in obtaining the resources needed for its Health system worsened due to the intensification of the U.S. economic, commercial, and financial blockade. Hence, the solidarity of this and other non-governmental organizations in Europe and Latin America is crucial for medical care in the country.
