A group of 36 Cuban doctors, 15 nurses and logistic experts have arrived in Italy to help stop the spread of the coronavirus in the Lombardy region.
In a rare display of solidarity and humanity, Cuba sends doctors to Italy to help treat patients and save lives.
Remember Italy has lost over 5,000 people to Coronavirus and they are the worst hit country in the world.
This is why we must act right now.
Cuba currently is subjected to an embargo by the US but that has not stopped them from helping others. Jamaica, Venezuela, Suriname, Grenada and Nicaragua have since benefitted from doctors being dispatched to help during this crisis.
This has been a common practice for a long time since they became a republic in 1959, to deploy health care workers to places affected by diseases and other health challenges.
