In the absence of medications for cancer treatment, the civil association Nariz Roja will give 60 boxes of Vincristine to 30 children who are being treated at the Civil Hospitals of Guadalajara.
According to the founder of this civil association, Alejandro Barbosa, with the third day of the collection that began to run through the shortage of medicines that has been presented in the country for this population, It has been possible to collect at least 150 thousand pesos, with which the treatment for children was purchased.
“We are supporting the Civilians, we made a collection this weekend online and collected that amount in three days, 145 thousand pesos of medicine have already been bought, they arrive in ten days and we already notify the corresponding area in the Civil Hospital and we will make the delivery as soon as we have it, “he said.
However, he pointed out that this help is a “palliative” because the medication they will donate “is not enough to cover the need, but hopefully this adds up to lessen the problem there is,” he added.
The medicine that the association buys costs 2 thousand 570 pesos per vialHowever, each patient needs two applications per week.

Last Saturday, Fernando Petersen, head of the Jalisco Ministry of Health, reported that Given the delays by the Federal Government in the delivery of chemotherapy drugs, the state already contemplates the direct purchase of these.
“These medications are being managed and administered by the Federal Government. We have already made our needs known, however we continue to find that there are delays in the delivery of these medications,” he said.
