A donation from the Cuban Canary Solidarity Network, which arrived today in the city of Holguín, will contribute to the fight against COVID-19 at Vladimir Ilyich Lenin University Teaching Hospital.

Institutions such as Vladimir Ilyich Lenin University Teaching Hospital, founded by the historical leader of the revolution Fidel Castro Ruz and proclaimed as a symbol of solidarity and fraternity, have outstanding services in obstetrics and gynecology, assisted reproduction, cardiology and general surgery, among others.
