President Correa describes Cuba
as the world champion of solidarity and humanism
Anneris Ivette Leyva García
AFTER months of genetic and psychological-social research throughout one
third of Ecuadorian territory, 192 Cuban collaborators, members of the Manuela
Espejo solidarity mission, have returned to Cuba to celebrate the 51st
anniversary of the Revolution with their families and the nation as a whole.
Moments before leaving, after having studied disabilities in more than
78,000 people and visiting almost 380,000 homes - where they also provided
neurophysiologic, psychological, angiological, and otolaryngological care - the
Cuban doctors received the gratitude of the Ecuadorian people and government.
Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa described Cuba as the world champion of
solidarity and humanism.
Hilda Hernández Madera, an official from the Ministry of Public Heath in
charge of designing strategies and preparing the methodologies to consolidate
the study, described the opportunity to be part of this brigade as attaining a
doctorate in principle, ethics, and humanism. She assured Fidel, Raúl, and
heath officials that in the midst of such difficult geographical and climate
conditions, it was evident that the future of the Revolution is assured.
Speaking of how the Cuban collaborators withstood all the difficulties
they had to confront, Marcia Cobas, MINSAP deputy minister, congratulated the
brigade on their results and reaffirmed that the ALBA mission, based on values
of solidarity instilled by Fidel and Raúl, was made material in them and knew
no borders.
