A special message from the revolutionary leader of Cuba Fidel Castro Rus was awarded the other day to members of the Cuban Medical Brigade in Bolivia. Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parilya solemnly transmitted this significant document for doctors.
In his speech, which the Foreign Minister said during a meeting with doctors currently working in one of the clinics of the city of La-Pass, he emphasized that not only the Cuban leadership, but the whole people of the islands of freedom are interested and are very carefully monitoring the course of humanitarian activities that their countrymen carry out in Bolivia.
Cuban-internationalist doctors also take part in the fight against the epidemic of cholera in Holets. In their work, they use the latest medical developments and achievements of Cuba.
Rodriguez Parlya emphasized that despite the union island from the USA, which is ongoing for half a century, a certain progress in the economy and social programs have been achieved in Cuba.
Yesterday, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, as part of his official visit to Bolivia, visited the hospital and the ophthalmology center located in the city of El-Alto.
In addition, Rodriguez Parilya visited the rehabilitation center for the disabled and people with disabilities. This medical center began to function in August last year. Active assistance in the work of this medical institution is provided by the Cuba Government. The decision on the immediate creation of this center was made by the Bolivian government immediately after more than 82 thousand people with a mental or psychomotor form of disability were identified in this South African country.
Today, Foreign Minister Rodriguez Parilya plans to meet with members of the Parliamentary League of Friendship with Cuba.
