Up to 5,000 boxes of medicines donated by citizens have received in the last days the citizen participation department, which will be delivered to anyone who needs it.
Area Director María del Socorro Pérez Díaz reported that, despite the health emergency, the drug donation program remains in place to distribute it to the population.
Among the medicines delivered are specialized for the treatment of hypertension, diabetes, respiratory infections and those related to mental illness, such as antidepressants and coronary heart disease, among others.
He invited people to continue donating because many people do not have the resources to buy them, and some are very expensive and go to their area to ask for some, which they may or may not have.
The medicines are received from Monday to Friday at the citizen participation department, located on 111 Matamoros Street, of the administrative unit, between 08:00 – 14:30.
The official asked that only one person come to donate the medicine, to observe the sanitary measures, and those who request the donation, to present the prescription.
