PROJECT C.U.R.E.'s work in Cuba began in 1997 with deliveries of medical supplies to hospitals in Havana, Matanzas and Pinar del Rio. Since reviving its work in Cuba in 2006, PROJECT C.U.R.E. has delivered five containers of medical supplies, each valued at $400,000 wholesale, to various hospitals and clinics in Cuba. Three more are planned for delivery later this year.
