The British cruiser that sent the MS Braemer with 682 passengers from ten countries was in March 2020 almost adrift in the Caribbean with no port of destination and no port in a position to allow it to dock because the COVID-19 coronavirus was sweeping there. Three countries had refused, to allow him to dock and no country was willing to come to his aid.
This is understandable because the highly contagious virus has no cure or vaccine and the ship carried five cases shown with 55 passengers and equipment that had developed coronavirus-like symptoms in isolation.
It was at this time of depression that tiny Cuba, despite the enormous dangers to its population, intervened to invite grounding from its port of Mariel, moved passengers and crew in bus convoys to Havana and took them to Britain. only one of the many measures taken by Cuba and its medical staff to fight the monstrous virus, not only within its borders, but around the world.
While almost every country in the world is closing its borders, maximizing its medical staff and becoming ingested to combat the likely invincible march of the virus, Cuba has mobilized more than 3,700 of its fitness professionals, 61. 2% of them women. and sent them to fight the virus. They were grouped into 47 groups and sent to 46 countries. In their first five months, Cubans served 355,785 people, saving 9,736 lives.
These medical groups are part of the Henry Reeve International Medical Brigade, a motion created on 19 September 2005 with the mission: “To provide humanitarian and medical assistance to the population of countries affected by epidemics and herbal errors, and to contribute to their recovery”. This is consistent with Cuba’s confidence that aptitude is a basic human right to which all human beings are entitled and that one user’s well-being determines that of others.
In today’s environment, no component of the global can be if part of it is devastated by the virus. Therefore, by fighting COVID-19 under remote skies, Cuban white robes also protect their population that opposes the virus.
The medical brigade is named after Henry Reeve, a young American from Brooklyn, New York, who arrived on May 4, 1869 off the coast of Cuba to participate in the war of independence opposed to Spanish colonialism.
He died at the age of 26. In 2020, when Italy became the epicenter of viral rabies, Cuba sent two of those medical brigades made up of 90 medical bodies to Lombardy and Piedmont, then thought of as the maximums affected. He also sent 39 fitness staff to the European Principality of Andorra and 115 to Azerbaijan, offering more than 16,000 people.
In the Middle East, he sent 229 white robes to Qatar and 298 to Kuwait to fight COVID-19; he also sent a brigade to the United Arab Emirates, the United Arab Emirates. In Latin America, he sent 116 fitness professionals to Honduras. Nicaragua, Venezuela and Peru, which treated more than 80,000 patients, as well as technical assistance to Mexico.
Its largest anti-COVID medical contingent of 650 other people was sent to a dozen Caribbean countries; Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Jamaica, Grenada, Haiti, Belize, Dominica, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago, where it treated about 33,000 more people. This contingent included fifteen fitness professionals sent to Martinique. , the home of one of the greatest Africans, the physician Franz Fanon, of outstanding books such as “Black Skin, White Masks” and “The Unhappy of the Earth”.
Africa then arrives with 641 Cuban medical bodies of workers sent to fight COVID-19 in Angola, Togo, Cape Verde, South Africa, Guinea Conakry, Guinea Bissau, Sao Tome and Prencipe, Equatorial Guinea, Sierra Leone and Kenya. brigades provided care to more than 38,000 people in these countries.
Six years ago, when Ebola erupted in Africa, 256 Cuban doctors and nurses from the Reeve International Medical Brigade flew to the continent to the highly contagious epidemic, which have worked in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, serving more than 2,000 patients.
Two of these Cuban internationalists lost their lives to malaria, another, Dr. Félix Báez, who contracted Ebola, survived and returned to Africa to continue the fight. Ebola defeated in the West African region and led to extinction in the rest of the continent. .
The medical brigade’s first overseas position took place in October 2005 when the floods swept through Guatemala, sent 688 Cuban fitness professionals who treated more than 477,000 people and stored more than 1,300 lives. It has helped in other flood crisis conditions such as Bolivia. , Belize, Mexico, El Salvador, Chile, Western Sahara (refugee camps in Tinduf, Algeria, Peru and Sierra Leone).
When an earthquake struck Pakistan in October 2005, killing 70,000 people, injuring 100,000 and leaving 3 million homeless, some 2,000 Cuban fitness personnel traveled to treat more than 1,700,000 patients. This project alone performed more than 14,000 surgeries and more than 166,000 survivors gained rehabilitation while saving more than 2,000 lives.
In 2010, when Cuban doctors and nurses flew to combat a cholera epidemic in Haiti, another heroic war was fought through the Prefect’s International Medical Brigade, which treated another 400,000 people and saved some 76,000 lives.
In its 15-year history, the Henry Reeve International Medical Brigade has formed 71 medical brigades with more than 9,000 Cuban fitness professionals who care about 4 million people and save more than 89,000 lives. During this time, it helped combat COVID. 19 pandemics, Ebola and cholera epidemics and herbal disasters, as well as floods, earthquakes and hurricanes.
On 26 May 2017, at the World Health Assembly, the World Health Organization, WHO awarded the Dr LEE Jong-wook Memorial Public Health Award to the Henry Reeve International Medical Brigade for the popularity of its universal services.
In the light of these records, the promotion through the Medical Brigade of human solidarity and universal peace, being the Nobel Peace Prize for the user who, last year, “will have made the maximum or maximum production of paintings for the fraternity . . . “and, with 2020 largely marked by COVID-19, it makes sense for the Nobel Peace Prize to be awarded to an organization like the Henry Reeve International Medical Brigade for its ordinary contribution to combating the pandemic. “
The sle of this medical motion for the peace prize is softened by the priority of the International Committee of the Red Cross, which, as an organization, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 3 times in total: 1917, the carnage of World War I, 1944 when the most tragic time of the global war was coming to an end and at the height of the Cold War in 1963.
