Work of Cuban Doctor Highlighted in Suriname

HAVANA, Cuba, March 12 (acn) Suriname's Health Minister, Celsius Waterberg, praised the work carried out by Cuban doctor Alexis Hernández, who has been offering his services on a voluntary basis in that country since April 2007.

In his almost two years of work, Hernandez, an anaesthesiologist, has given anaesthetics to over 4,000 specialists and has seen more than 1,500 patients in pre-surgery consultations at the Sland Hospital, in Paramaribo, the capital.

The performance of the Cuban physician, who was born in Havana, has also been acknowledged by the hospital's board of directors and other health authorities, who describe it as one of high human sensitivity and high scientific level.

Cuban medical and paramedical personnel are now working in over 40 nations in all parts of the world. One example of this solidarity is Operation Miracle, which has so far returned the sight to thousands of Latin Americans, and another example is Havana's Latin American School of
Medicine, where thousands of youngsters from other countries are studying.
