Kingston, Jamaica, 3 June 2020.
Nurses Liudanis Sánchez and Laritza Nápoles currently contribute to the quality of life of the people of Jamaica, an example of Cuba’s medical internationalism in the days of Covid-19.
They both are part of the contingent of 434 healthcare professionals from the largest island in the Antilles who now support the Jamaican nation’s efforts against the threat of the novel coronavirus, SAR-CoV-2, causing the fatal disease.

Kingston, Jamaica, 21 May 2020. Cuba commemorates Africa Day today in Jamaica, by sharing some men and women’s experience in the practice of internationalism. Amid the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, they evoke previous missions and fraternal bonds that join them to this brother continent.
Kingston, Jamaica, 25 May 2020. Beyond the barriers imposed by language, Cuba has a common root with Jamaica, as with the rest of the English-speaking Caribbean countries: Africa. All islands in the Antilles share a past of pain, of split families, of men and women torn from their land and brought like beasts in crowded ships to these foreign islands on the other side of the Atlantic. Once here, they and their descendants were forced to work for the colonizer for centuries.
