ELAM Chile campaign raises over 61,000 dollars for Cuba

Santiago, Chile, Jun 23 (Prensa Latina) The campaign by Chilean graduates of the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM) raised 54.5 million pesos (nearly 61,000 dollars) that will be used to purchase solar panels for a hospital in Cuba, the group informed.

Its goal is to guarantee energy for some of the units at the Diez de Octubre Hospital in Havana, the organization stated in a message posted on Instagram.

Upon announcing the closing of the campaign “Cuba No Esta Sola” (Cuba Is Not Alone), the ELAM graduates thanked all those who were part of this effort to help the Cuban people in their resistance to the brutal blockade imposed by the United States government.

The initiative concluded with a luncheon at the headquarters of the Metalworkers’ Confederation, attended by doctors and their families, members of the solidarity movement, mayors, politicians, members of parliament, Cuban residents, and diplomats from the island.

The siege imposed by the United States, and in particular the oil blockade, impacts all aspects of life, such as electricity, transportation, education, and health, where more than 100,000 patients are currently waiting for surgery, 12,000 of whom are children.
