His friends have appealed to social networks to request metronidazole, ciprofloxacin and diclofenac, drugs that the human rights defender urgently needs.

According to medical information, the activist, who suffers from diabetes, has been complicated by a pancreatitis and his life is in danger.

Dozens of Internet users recalled that the opposition member has been helping dozens of Cubans get medicine for years, amid the shortage of drugs in the country, and that she recently adopted a baby who was abused by his parents.

According to information it has now become complicated with Pancreatitis. Acute Pancreatitis can be very dangerous and he could lose his life, please, let us be attentive to this case. We pray for his speedy recovery," his friend Richard Schirrmann posted on Facebook.

The activist frequently suffers harassment from the regime for her humanitarian work managing medicines for people in need.

Since last year, Cuba has been going through an unprecedented medicine crisis, and the regime itself has recognized that there are no medicines in hospitals and that the situation will not be solved in the short term.

Salcedo intensified his work in the management of medicines following the frequent outbreaks of scabies that affected dozens of Cuban children last year.
