Project Overview

The Instituto de Medicina Pedro Kourí, Cuba's number one centre for infectious diseases, has requested assistance to purchase of reagents and supplies for the control, monitoring and diagnosis of Covid-19 in Cuba, equipment that they are struggling to find and fund because of the blockade. The money raised from this campaign will be used to purchase and send everything they need to fight the coronavirus!

Thanks to you, we can move on to the next phase of this project: acquiring all the equipment and bringing it to Cuba!

During the campaign, we have not been idle: the first reagents ordered are already in Cuba, ready to be used by the IPK laboratories. Delivery times were faster than we had been told. We are keeping our fingers crossed that the delivery of the rest of the material will also arrive very quickly.

In Cuba, the health situation is in the best-case scenario: the curve is flattening!

For COVID-19, 1,743 samples were studied, resulting in 8 positive samples. The country accumulated 89,031 samples completed and 1,908 positives (2.1%). At the close of May 20, 2020, 8 new cases were confirmed, for a total of 1,908 in the country. There are 80 deaths in the country.

The monitoring and control of the epidemic is producing the expected results, which is a great relief! But Cuba must remain vigilant: cases of COVID-19 are increasing rapidly among its neighbors.

In addition to focusing efforts on the well-being of patients, the protection of vulnerable people, and economic solutions to be found in the face of the slowdown, the Island must also face a reinforcement of American sanctions, as well as accusations of terrorism and slavery; this is putting a strain on the Cuban authorities, its health system, and above all the entire Cuban population.

The colossal effort to contain the new coronavirus has left the island with very few reserves, compounded by difficulties in obtaining supplies of oil, raw materials, and commodities (rice, meat, milk, etc.). The situation of the Cubans will not be easy in the coming months.

Therefore, your solidarity is a breath of fresh air for Cuba and its people!

Again T H A N K Y O U for all your contributions, for your sharing, for your encouragements...

We will continue to support Cuba, so that their health workers can continue to guarantee the right to health for all, wherever it is needed!
