Salvadoreños donan lentes para cataratas en Cuba ante crisis humanitaria de la isla

A group of Salvadorans has donated 125 intraocular lenses and surgical kits to the Ramón Pando Ferrer Institute of Ophthalmology in Havana, Cuba. The delivery was coordinated to support cataract surgeries at the medical facility, according to reports from the Cuban Embassy in San Salvador.

The donation occurs amidst ongoing reports of a humanitarian crisis within Cuba, which has impacted the availability of medical supplies on the island. The contribution is intended to assist in addressing the backlog of cataract procedures at the specialized ophthalmology center.
