You gather what you seed.

I believe that justice and the truth are becoming two words that take force in the world at the moment, the towns get tired of the manipulation and the lies of enriched corrupt politicians with the bread of the poor men. Whenever an upsetting is committed, the masses don’t take a long time to make it hear. The ailments of the towns become generals and the aid actions are taken without vacillating to who are the aid ones, single thinking about solidarity with each human, yes, because this world of competitions and wars has forgotten the days in that men were helped each others. If we are not those who bring our hands to help the humanity, who will do it? Still united, it‘s everything. At the moment as a part of the World-wide Day of Fight against the Terrorism and by the Liberation of the Five, that is made from September in several places of the planet, English young people of the organization Rock Around the Blockade developed in Trafalgar Square, London, a manifestation of support to the five Cuban heroes which they keep unjust prison in the United States, while actions of diverse type took place in Guatemala, France, Belize and Kazajstan.

The International Cuban Medical Health Care

The consistent practice of internationalism and solidarity with other peoples of the world is a prime principle of Cuban foreign policy.
The implementation of the Scholarships Program for Foreign Students has been a genuine expression of this purpose since the first years of the Cuban Revolution. Through this program, thousands of technicians and professionals from other Third World nations have been graduated in our country..
More recently, the Latin American School of Medical Sciences was created under following the same principles. In a short time, the School has become an example of what the cooperation in such a sensitive and decisive field as health should be. Through the years, by sending specialized personnel to other lands - particularly Family Doctors- Cuba has contributed, modestly and unselfishly, to save and preserve many human lives.Up to the present, nearly 3000 health professionals have rendered services and assisted 5 million patients in African, Latin American and Asian countries under the Comprehensive Healthcare Delivery Program (CHDP)
The cooperation offered by the Cuban Government is based on the free of charge delivery of health specialists and technicians, particularly Family Doctors, for a two-year term at most.

The Latin American School of Medicine, symbol of solidarity and union among American people.

On the first of November 1998, at the conclusion of the XII Forum on Science and Technology, and still fresh with the memories of the most horrendous images that hurricanes “George” and “Mitch” left as they had cut through Central America and the Caribbean, Fidel announced to the world the creation of this wonderful project. In September of the following year, the first courses began with 1,933 students.
Cuba had sent brigades consisting of hundreds of doctors and health personal to these countries so near and dear and established an on-going presence. It had lent its services in the roughest and most inhospitable places where in many cases no one had ever seen a doctor and there they developed an Integral Health Program.
This new project, however, consisted of offering scholarships to young people from those towns and disadvantaged countries to study medicine; the aim was that they return to their places of origin in six or seven years to replace the Cuban doctors.
After five years of having announced this plan, today youth from 24 countries, 19 of them Latin American and Caribbean nations and 4 African countries study at ELAM. The 24th country is the United States, where students who cannot afford the expensive medical studies in that country are enrolled.
Every year at ELAM, 1,500 new students enter. In the first six years there will total 10,000 students. Most are from low-income families and remote places. They represent more than a hundred ethnic groups. They come with their own cultures, customs, ideologies and religious beliefs, all of which are respected and form the great diversity that contributes to the enrichment and education of all.
With this initiative, Fidel teaches us once again that the practice of internationalism is to repay our debt to humanity.

Cuban medical cooperation

International solidarity and collaboration has been one of the most important principles of the Cuban revolution since its very beginning, inspired in the humanitarian purpose of saving lives.
Chile's earthquake in May, 1960, was the first Cuban experience of international medical collaboration, though the start of Cuban foreign collaboration was officially marked in 1963 when a group of Cuban doctors were sent to Algeria.
Cuban medical brigades offer humanitarian security to people in far-off places such as the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Guatemala, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nicaragua and Bolivia.
One of the major steps made by the Cuban Revolution in its humanitarian collaboration has been the creation in September, 2005, of the Henry Reeves International Medical Contingent for Disasters and Serious Epidemics.
The contingent was formed to help the victims of hurricane Katrina after it passed through the US. Even though, the American government rejected the Cuban help, the Cuban doctors have been able to provide their services after the earthquakes in Pakistan and Indonesia and the heavy rains that recently affected Guatemala and Bolivia.
For more than four decades, close to 133,000 Cuban health experts have collaborated with a hundred nations, marking a record in foreign medical cooperation.
