Note: Under the current political environment, MedAid is inactive. If the political environment changes and MedAid's humanitarian license is renewed, MedAid will be reactivated.
MedAid delivers medical aid to the people of Latin America and the Caribbean while promoting opportunities for cross-cultural understanding.
Since 1995, MedAid has delivered over $4 million in medicines, medical supplies and medical devices to the people of Cuba--both through our Ambassador Program and through large-scale shipments. Our network ensures that medical supplies go directly to the people needing care. One of our largest successes--SEBASTA 2000--brought enough medication to treat all of Cuba's cancer patients for one year.
We are currently not able to deliver medical aid to Cuba through our Ambassador Program until we obtain a new license.
