Indonesia will never forget the heroic deeds of the Cuban doctors . Raúl attends ceremony for the decoration of the medical brigade BY ARNALDO MUSA-Granma daily staff writer- "WE have witnessed their professional ability, dedication and their great affection for other human beings. Their heroic deeds will never be forgotten," affirmed Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono upon decorating the medical brigade that recently lent assistance to the earthquake victims of that sister nation, in a ceremony headed by Raúl Castro Ruz, first vice president of the Council of State and Ministers. The presentation of the Satya Lencana Kabaktian Sosial decoration-for having provided exceptional services to Indonesian society-to the 135 members of the brigade, as well as to doctors Yorgel Sorial Acosta and Arelys Felicia Dorta Delgado and nurses Tomasa Caussse Rabat and Alicia Maya González, was symbolically presented by the president to by Luis Orlando Olivero Serrano, chief of the group. Yudhoyono recalled that the Cuban medical personnel were among the first to arrive in the country just after the disaster occurred, to help complete strangers, and he added: "They linked up with the Indonesian medical brigade, bringing hope and tranquility and snatching many lives from the jaws of death." In a period of just three months 773 major and 2,436 minor operations were performed, as well as 34 births attended with zero infant mortality. Nearly 10,000 tetanus immunizations were given and two field hospitals were donated to the Indonesian government. The Indonesian president stated that this is an example of the close friendship that exists between the two nations. He conveyed the gratitude of the Yogyakarta people of Central Java and of the entire archipelago, and said that the medals given are reminders that on the other side of the world there will always be people who remember them with gratitude and affection. The ceremony was attended by Foreign Minister Felipe Pérez Roque and the Health Minister Dr. José Ramón Balaguer Cabrera, who stressed in his address that Indonesia and Cuba have further strengthened their bonds of friendship and that an act such as this proves that it is possible to bring together peoples who are geographically so distant [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ======================= Milis Wanita Muslimah Membangun citra wanita muslimah dalam diri, keluarga, maupun masyarakat.
