Cuban Medical Teams in 22 nations, against Covid-19, despite US blockade.

More than 1 450 Cuban health professionals, members of Contingent Henry Reeve, have travelled to 22 countries in Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa and Middle East to assist in the fight against Covid-19.

Cuba's international solidarity and sacrifice in the fight against COVID-19 came amid the US embargo against the Caribbean island nation of some 11 million people, officially imposed in February 1962, which has affected all sectors on the island nation for almost six decades.
