Dear Editor,
I want to join in expressing thanks to the US medical ship that was here recently. I know that they did a lot of good work and we all are thankful.
However, the Cuban doctors have been giving us tremendous service for decades. Without Cuba’s assistance the medical service would be in serious crisis.
Over the years Cuba has increased its support.
They are helping us in the construction of diagnostic centres, which I understand they will staff.
They are training hundreds of students, mainly from poor families, most of them in medicine.
Despite this sustained support by Cuba the media has never given it half the publicity as it has done the US one off help.
I for one would like to say a big “Thank You” to Cuba for staying with us for approximately three decades.
Yours faithfully,
Chitraykha
