London, 13 January, 2021.- Cuban Ambassador to the United Kingdom Bárbara Montalvo Álvarez attended this afternoon an online event organized by the Cuban Solidarity Campaign local group in Merseyside, England.

Montalvo gave an up-to-date presentation of the country’s efforts to tackle the COVID-19, and praised Cuba’s health system which allows to sustain all other health programs. She highlighted that 85.1% of all diagnosed cases have recovered, and that only 3.6% of them had to be admitted to critical care units.

"The Henry Reeve Medical Brigade embodies the vocation of medicine and the spirit of the revolution. Its medics show selfless conduct in the service of others and often at great risk to themselves. It deserves to be recognised for the good it does and the example it sets - humanity and medicine in essence and at its finest.
