In a gesture of brotherhood and an example of cooperation, members of the Cuban Medical Brigade joined their colleagues from Dominica in a successful Health Fair organized by the Ministry of Health in the community of Mahaut. The event was attended by the country’s Minister of Health, the Honorable Cassanni Laville and the Cuban Ambassador, Miguel Fraga, who highlighted the positive impact of this collaboration on the health care of the population. Also present were Dr. Lynora Fevrier Drigo, Chief Medical Officer of Dominica, and Dr. Francisco Sanchez, Chief of the Cuban Medical Brigade.

During the day, Cuban and Dominican specialists provided free medical consultations to more than a hundred people, covering a wide range of services, from general check-ups to preventive health promotion.

Minister Laville expressed his appreciation to all the health professionals who participated and had words of gratitude to the Cuban collaborators for their continuous support to the health system of Dominica and reiterated that their presence reinforces the commitment to guarantee the wellbeing of all the inhabitants of the so-called “Island of Nature”.

For his part, the Cuban diplomat highlighted the historic ties of cooperation between Cuba and Dominica. “Events like this are a reflection of the brotherhood between our peoples. We are also grateful because each Cuban collaborator who lives the experience of serving where he or she is most needed not only becomes a better professional but also a better human being,” he said.

The Cuban specialists dedicated their efforts to the 66th anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution and the 172nd anniversary of the birth of Cuba’s National Hero, José Martí.

The Health Fair in Mahaut reaffirmed the importance of international cooperation in the health field, demonstrating that joint efforts can transform lives and strengthen communities. Both organizers and participants consider it a positive experience that should be extended to other communities. EMBACUBADOMINICA
