Cuban doctors in Haiti – appeal for funds‏

Support the Cuban medical brigades in Haiti: A Cuban bank account has now been opened to receive financial contributions to help with the Cuban medical teams working in Haiti. If you wish to support the Cuban efforts in Haiti directly then you can do so in the following ways:

The preferred method
1. Make a donation via CSC. We will collate all donations and forward them in lump sums to Cuba to avoid multiple transfer fees (please make cheques payable to 'CSC' and write Cuban doctors in Haiti) on the back) and send to address below. You can also donate by Credit Card at 0208 800 0155. All donations will receive acknowledgement.

2. You can make a direct bank transfer to the Cuban bank account (below) set up to receive donations for the Cuban medical effort in Haiti. Please note that making direct bank transfers to Cuba will involve paying significant bank and transfer charges and that you may not receive confirmation or receipts for your donation.

Title: Terremoto Haití (Haiti Earthquake)
Bank: BICSA
Bank Identification Code (BIC) Código SWIFT del Banco: BIDCCUHH
Account number: 01321010770900
