A political and cultural act was held at the Central Hospital of Windhoek to farewell seven Cuban health workers, who concluded their mission in Namibia.
The event was chaired by Giraldo Mazola, Cuban Ambassador in this country, Dr. Aniuska Palacio, Chief of the Cuban Medical Brigade, and other members of the mission's diplomatic staff.
In the words of farewell, Dr. Aniuska expressed gratitude for the effort and willingness to help other peoples of the world who are most in need in the health sector. He also recalled the example of the Commander in Chief and the internationalist vocation he instilled in Cubans.
The doctor concluded with a well-known and valid phrase from our Commander in Chief: "To be internationalists is to pay off our own debt to humanity. Whoever is not able to fight for others will never be able to fight for himself. "
For his part, Cuban Ambassador Giraldo Mazola congratulated to the doctors for the work they had done and urged them to continue with the same dedication and commitment once they return to work in Cuba.
