In Chile, members of the Cuba Solidarity Movement launched a call to raise funds and buy 100,000 syringes, but according to organizers, they will be gather one million, taking into account voluntary contributions.

The fund-raising is organized in Chile by organizations such as Doctors Graduates in Cuba, the Association of Parents of the Graduates, and the Solidarity with Cuba and Residents Abroad groups, which promote the initiative.

The Mexican Solidarity Movement and the Jose Marti Association of Cuban Residents, who are on the verge of reaching their goal of 10,000 dollars to acquire the syringes, are leading the campaign here.

Meanwhile, in the United States, the organizations Saving Lives Campaign, Global Health Partners and US Women and Cuba Collaboration are promoting a solidarity campaign to raise money to send more than three million syringes, the Mexican newspaper reported.
