The highest authorities of Saint Kitts and Nevis praise the work of Cuban medical personnel in the Federation.
When once again an attempt is made to demoralize the humanistic and solidarity work of international medical collaboration by the United States Department of State, with Marco Rubio at the head, an avalanche of reactions has been generated during the last month, mainly among our Caribbean brothers and sisters, who refuse to relegate Cuban medical services, that have sustained their health systems for more than two decades.
Viva Cuba!
Cuba has long been a dedicated ally to the Caribbean nations, contributing significantly to the region’s social and economic development. The island has provided support in various sectors, especially in healthcare, where Cuban doctors, nurses, and medical professionals have volunteered their expertise across the Caribbean. Thousands of Cuban-trained medical personnel have helped improve the health sector in nations that otherwise might not have the resources for such care. In addition to healthcare, Cuba has provided scholarships for Caribbean students, enabling many to receive higher education in a variety of fields.
