Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla thanked this Monday for the donation of Cuban émigrés to the pediatric liver transplant program, carried out through the Puentes de Amor solidarity platform.

The official stressed that this gesture of altruism breaks the obstacles that the US blockade places on public health on the island, which makes access to supplies and medicines more expensive or prevents it from acquiring technologies with components of North American origin.

Puentes de Amor brings hope to Cuban children who are victims of the injustice of a criminal and inhumane blockade, Rodríguez wrote on the social network Twitter.

He added that Cuba appreciates the donation of supplies for liver transplants in infants, a gesture that returns dreams to families.

This Sunday, representatives of the Puentes de Amor initiative delivered part of the essential chemical compound to carry out liver transplants in children at the William Soler hospital in this capital.

This health program in Cuba has been detained for two years due to the lack of this medicine, authorities from the Ministry of Public Health told Cuban television and explained that it will be resumed as this gesture of solidarity.
