In a world where access to healthcare remains deeply unequal, a group of young people from the United States has just completed one of the most transformative journeys of their lives: six years of medical training at the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM) in Cuba—an institution built on the values of life, solidarity, and social justice.
Washington, Jul 24 (Prensa Latina) – Today, the Cuban Embassy in the United States honored the heroes and martyrs of the assaults on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes barracks on July 26, 1953 – 72 years ago.
On the anniversary of these simultaneous actions in Santiago de Cuba (Moncada) and Bayamo (Carlos Manuel de Céspedes), led by young revolutionaries under Fidel Castro’s command, Julio César Caballero stated on behalf of his colleagues:
"We can affirm this marked the beginning and consolidation of the Cuban Revolution."
At a time when coral reefs are under serious threat due to climate change, Cuba is emerging as a key site for scientific innovation and international collaboration in reef restoration. Cuban researchers, in partnership with U.S.-based institutions like SECORE International, are developing pioneering methods to regenerate corals that are more resilient to rising ocean temperatures.
The recent approval of the Code on Children, Adolescents, and Youth by Cuba’s National Assembly of People’s Power marks a significant milestone in the country’s ongoing commitment to justice, equality, and the protection of human rights.
It is essential to recognize the value of the work of Piero Gleijeses, an Italian-born historian based in the United States, whose scholarship has shed light—with rigor and honesty—on Cuba’s role in international affairs, particularly during the most intense years of the Cold War.
