In a gesture reaffirming the bonds of brotherhood between nations, the Pedro Kourí Institute of Tropical Medicine (IPK) has received a donation of solar panels, along with inverters and batteries.

This vital equipment, arriving amidst the complex power grid situation facing the nation, will ensure backup energy for key medical and hospital care services.

Through its official Facebook profile, IPK Cuba expressed its gratitude for this “extremely important donation,” which forms part of the first investment phase of the “Energy for Life” project.

“In the current situation affecting Cuba, projects from sister organizations and countries in support of the Cuban people and our healthcare system demonstrate the impact of such solidarity through actions like this, for which we are infinitely grateful,” highlighted the publication.

The donation, managed within the framework of the “Energy for Life” project, comes from the Canarian-Cuban Friendship Association “Antonio Pérez Monzón,” the Government of the Canary Islands, MediCuba Europe, and AMCA.

This energy backup is vital for the reference center to continue providing high-quality services and, as stated by the institution, “above all, saving lives and improving everyone's health” at a most crucial juncture given the challenges facing the country.

This assistance joins other solidary efforts that, despite adversity and the embargo, accompany the largest island of the Antilles in its battle for life, demonstrating that international solidarity is an unstoppable force honoring the principles of the Cuban Revolution.
