In an indirect appeal for participation by other nations, Vice President Esteban Lazo at a donors’ summit in the Dominican Republic June 2 highlighted a $690 million Cuban-Venezuelan plan to rebuild Haiti’s healthcare system.The plan was approved by a meeting of the ALBA trade and integration agreement in Caracas in May, but the bulk of the funding comes from Venezuela, according to Lazo. Brazil, the only non-ALBA nation to participate in the project, committed $80 million in funding.
