HAVANA, Cuba, Feb 9 . World Health Organization (WHO) representative in Zimbabwe Custodia Mandlhate praised the work of a medical brigade from Cuba in that country and its contribution to the health care system of the African nation, in a meeting with the Cuban Ambassador Cosmne Torres in Harare.
WHO’s top official highlighted Cuba’s medical help to other Third World countries and stressed that it is an example of international cooperation, says a press release by the Cuban embassy to that country.
Mandlhate welcomed Cuban Ambassador’s proposal of having Cuban doctors more involved, with the WHO in the struggle against the cholera epidemic that has hit Zimbabwe.
Likewise, Harare’s mayor Muchadei Masunda expressed admiration for the laudable work of the Cuban medical personnel in Zimbabwe, said the diplomatic source.
In a telephone conversation with the Cuban ambassador, the mayor extolled the work of the Cuban doctors.
Masunda noted that it was praiseworthy the spirit of selflessness our internationalist workers show in their work in his country as well as in other African nations, where they do their best and show their high professional levels.
The Zimbabwean official showed his interest on knowing more on the social, economic and political developments that are taking place in Cuba. He recognized the island’s achievements in the sports field and stated his admiration for former boxer Teofilo Stevenson, whom he would like to meet personally.
