Congratulations to the Henry Reeve International Medical Brigade Specialized in Disaster Situations and Serious Epidemics on its 15th Anniversary!
Pretoria, Septiembre 19.- The International Medical Brigade was created on 19 September 2005, in response to the damage caused by hurricane Katrina to New Orleans in the United States, which brought about approximately 1,336 casualties.
The Brigade was called Henry Reeve as a tribute to an American man, born in New York, who joined the Cuban independence war against Spanish colonial domination. In the history of Cuba, Henry Reeve became a paradigm of international solidarity.
