Victoria, 5th June._ We received at the Cuban Embassy the Seychellois student Samuel Marie, who will soon travel to Cuba to study medicine, through the scholarship program developed by the Cuban government since the early years of the Revolution.
In the conversation held with the student, the Cuban Consul Tomás Méndez Parra, offered a general overview about the current economic situation faced by Cuba. However, this solidarity collaboration continues to be a priority for the Cuban government and a sample of what can be done by a small nation with limited economic resources, but rich in human capital and with the necessary political will to contribute to the development of other nations of the South.
On the other hand, he referred to the importance of taking advantage of this opportunity to train as a doctor and then contribute with his knowledge to strengthen the health system of Seychelles.
As usual, Barbara Kilindo, a graduate in Cuba, who is currently an official of the Scholarship Department of the Seychelles Ministry of Education, also participated in the meeting.
We wish Samuel all the best and we are confident that when he completes his studies he will be able to be useful to the Seychelles health system.
