Cuba’s communist dictatorship has launched another campaign calling on the people to donate their blood to the government for zero compensation to “save lives.” What the Castro dictatorship doesn’t tell donors, however, is that the life they are saving is that of the totalitarian regime. The blood Cubans donate for free is exported for cash, leaving Cuban hospitals with nothing.

Once again, the Cuban regime called on the population to donate blood, but what they fail to acknowledge is the business that exists behind these campaigns.
The state-run magazine Buenos Días interviewed the head of the National Blood Program, Dr. Delia Corto González, who explained the importance of voluntary donations, arguing that each donation could save three lives.

However, what the Cuban regime does not reveal is that it profits from this blood and that, when people in need go to medical centers, there is no blood available for them, according to complaints on social media.
This Thursday, it emerged that a group of mothers of children with Cystic Fibrosis in Cuba wrote a letter to the regime’s Ministry of Public Health denouncing the precarious medical and nutritional conditions their children face across the country. In the letter, among other deficiencies, they mentioned the lack of blood for transfusions.
Meanwhile, an article published in 2022 in the Spanish newspaper ABC reported on the blood trade on the island.
Its author, Susana Gaviña, pointed out that the Cuban regime has sought methods to keep its finances afloat without worrying about creating a long-term development model.
Recently, “this led the Cuban Government to intensify the foreign trade of some of its flagship products, such as the sale of blood and its derivatives, without the knowledge of Cuban donors,” Gaviña’s report states.
Socialism takes everything away from you — your money, your property, your rights, your freedom — to feed and keep the elite in power, and in communist Cuba, they even take your blood.
Look, the savages are there to serve the regime one way or another. Nobody cares what they need.
