cuba & pakistan

I've written about the 2260 health care professionals that Cuba sent to help Pakistani earthquake victims, and about how they had treated 1,043,125 patients, but even that didn't prepare me for the latest statistic: 73% of the earthquake victims who received medical care, received it from Cuban doctors and paramedics.

That is just fantastic. Cuban doctors actually care about their patients as much as doctors from the rest of the world. Now, if only Castro would die, doctors can truly offer their patients a better life, and not just a band-aid.
