This month we are gathering funds, medications, and medical equipment to send to Cuba.

Currently there are no medications to be found for many diseases and illnesses such as infections, arthritic pain, fever, migraines or vitamins to supplement poor nutrition. These supplies have always been scarce, but given the current economic situation in Cuba it is now worse.

You can partner with us by collecting medications and contacting me at rachel@alientocuba.org for pickup OR with a financial contribution

Doctors in Cuba are well trained, but without the appropriate medication and tools it is difficult to provide good health care. We well remember the anecdotes of surgeons without proper suturing thread or a working cautherizer among many other deficiencies; and of a pediatrician without a stethoscope, otoscope or ophthalmoscope to adequately diagnose her patients. The lack of medical tools is difficult to comprehend.
