Monrovia, August 26, 2020 - Under the title "Why Cuban doctors deserve the Nobel Peace Prize", a positive and extensive article on the role of Cuban medical collaboration is published in the “LIBERIA NEWS” press.
The article highlights the outstanding participation of Cuban doctors in the fight against the terrible outbreak of Ebola in 2014 that hit West African countries, arguing that it is not surprising that there is an international campaign for Cuban doctors to be honored with the Nobel Peace Prize and that this aspect of Cuba's work is fundamental to its socialist project of international solidarity through care work.
It also highlights the US government's offensive campaign against Cuban internationalism, the pressure in 2019 by the US government on its allies to expel the Cuban missions from their countries, and the fact that in early 2020, the US government intensified its attempt to delegitimize the Cuban medical mission program.
The publication stresses that “Cuban medical workers are risking their health to break the chain of the COVID-19 infection. Cuban scientists developed drugs-such as interferon alpha-2b-to help fight the disease. Now Cuban scientists have announced that their vaccine is in trials; this vaccine will not be treated as private property but will be shared with the peoples of the world. This is the fidelity of Cuban medical internationalism”.
