Cuban doctors in Italy

The efforts by Cuba’s Henry Reeve International Medical Brigade have been the most significant example of medical internationalism during the COVID-19 pandemic. The brigade was set up in 2005 by Fidel Castro.

Among those supporting the call are Dilma Rousseff, Frei Betto, Leonardo Boff and US actors Danny Glover and Mark Ruffalo

Over 100 medical professionals from the Henry Reeve Brigade arrived in Azerbaijan on Monday. The brigade, founded by Fidel Castro in 2005, has worked in more than 25 countries during the COVID-19 pandemic

The solidarity work of Cuban doctors is a decades-long effort in medical internationalism whose roots go to the Cuban Revolution of 1959
