The objective of the promoters of the initiative is to meet the goal before the end of the year, so they have called for a final effort and expressed gratitude for the contributions made so far by various sectors of society.

A Swedish krona is equivalent to a syringe, Association President Zoltan Tiroler told Prensa Latina. The group has been very active in supporting Cuba and rejecting the economic, commercial and financial blockade that the United States has imposed on the island nation for more than 60 years.

The solidarity activist stressed that the campaign began this spring, and explained that when they collect an amount of money they transfer it to MediCuba Switzerland, the institution in charge of processing the purchase of syringes.
