500 thousand insulin kits arrived this Friday to Venezuela from Russia, to reinforce the capacity of health care for diabetic patients in the country’s public hospital network, in the midst of the Covid-19 combat.

The lot was received by the Minister for Health, Carlos Alvarado, among other authorities, in addition to the Russian ambassador to Venezuela, Sergey Melik-Bagdasarov, at the Simón Bolívar international airport in Maiquetía, La Guaira state.

The minister indicated that this is the fifth shipment of insulin sent by Russia as a result of an agreement signed in 2019 for strategic cooperation.

“We have also held a video conference with Russia with the Russian Minister of Health and we have coordinated joint activities between Venezuelan experts and Russian experts to strengthen our capacity to fight Covid-19 since there has been extraordinary handling in Russia, and they are also developing a vaccine against Covid-19, ” stressed Alvarado.

Orinoco Tribune operates without any advertising. We are not funded by any governments, think tanks, or large institutions. Our operations are entirely funded by readers like you. Our most generous donors have been targeted by the US for supporting socialist causes or are financially struggling. As a result, their accounts have been frozen, cutting off a significant revenue stream and severely threatening the sustainability of Orinoco Tribune.

We urge our readers and supporters, especially those not currently doing so, to help us with small donation (such as US $5 or $10/month) via Patreon, via Paypal/Credit-Card/crypto or via paper checks. Readers and supporters like you will allow us to continue bringing you progressive and hard-hitting news from Latin America, the Global South, and the world.

Help us reach our goal of $650 in monthly Patreon donations. We are counting on you as our only source of financial support!
