With a medical doctor from Bhutan (first picture) graduated in Cuba in 2012 after 7 years of university studies in Manzanillo, Cuba, at the celebration of the auspicious occasion of the 40th birth anniversary of H.M. King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, King of Bhutan.
Always proud of the Cuban Medical International Cooperation, which delivers not only excellent health care doctors but also amazing Spanish-speaking professionals with outstanding human values. Good to have a new good half-Cuban friend in Bangkok!!!
Congratulations!
