It’s been ten months since they arrived in Belize. And today, a ceremony was held to say thank you and farewell. Members of the Henry Reeve Brigade arrived in Belize on March twenty-fifth of last year to assist the country with its response efforts to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fifty-nine Cuban Health professionals have been working around the clock in health facilities across the country. A small ceremony was held today where Minister of Health and Wellness Michel Chebat expressed the country’s appreciation for Cuba’s help during this pandemic.
“You have been providing services for the Belizean people since March of the past year when the pandemic started to affect us. I cannot emphasize strongly enough what a decisive movement for public health these times are. We face many challenges, some that at times may have seem to be insurmountable. The Ministry of Health and Wellness and by extension the people and government of Belize owe all of you a debt a gratitude. You can to assist us when there were many uncertainties surrounding this COVID-19 disease and your support has never falter. The great work that the Henry Reeve brigade does has been recognized throughout the world and your nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize is a testament to that. Muchas Felicidades.”
