Medicine is Not Sold

Laura, a dedicated local dentist in Havana, has transformed her home into a vital community hub—redistributing donations twice a week from the steps of her apartment or arranging deliveries for those in need. Her efforts are part of the initiative “Medicine Is Not Sold”, founded by Dr. Yashar Keramati while he was a medical student in Havana. The project emerged from a simple idea: build a decentralized, people-powered system to share the limited medicines available. Using WhatsApp, the network grew rapidly, enabling people to post both their medical needs and surplus supplies. Today, it includes four active groups with over 1,000 members each, connecting patients and families across Havana and surrounding communities.

A simple change of gloves can mean the difference between healing and a life-threatening infection. That’s why we’re so grateful to African Aid International for partnering with us to provide essential medical supplies—surgical gloves, masks, and thermometers—to healthcare providers in Havana.

The center brings together essential services—free daily meals, comprehensive healthcare support, and social care—to serve some of the city’s most vulnerable seniors, many of whom survive on pensions as low as six U.S. dollars per month. Staffed by a compassionate team of 28 professionals, the center provides daytime care for up to 50 elderly residents and extends medical and social services to 6,500 inhabitants in the broader community.
