In late August, a donation from China arrived in Cuba with 22 tons of medical supplies, which included masks, suits, gloves and goggles, antigen tests and other items necessary for the daily work of medical personnel involved in patient care.

Previously, that Asian country sent 30 pulmonary ventilators and 150 oxygen concentrators, while the Cuban community living in Chinese territory donated 102,400 syringes for vaccination against the disease.
