Launched in France in late April, the advocacy platform for the recognition of doctors who have saved millions of lives in five continents and are contributing these days to the global fight against the pandemic called on the island’s friends to join the request from a Facebook group and by email.

Now we are online too, which makes it easier to support this effort to do justice to Cuban health professionals who share their knowledge and experiences around the world, Rose-Marie Lou, a member of Cuba Linda, told Prensa Latina. One of the associations promoting the petition is already accompanied by some thirty organizations.

According to the activist, the other routes are still in force, and in the last hours the Facebook group reached a thousand followers.

The platform asks for the Nobel Peace Prize to be awarded to the International Contingent of Doctors specialized in disaster situations and serious epidemics, Henry Reeve, who since its creation in 2005 has come to the aid of victims of earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and epidemics in Africa, Latin America , the Caribbean and Asia.

Around 1,500 doctors, nurses and brigade technicians present in more than 25 nations, including for the first time in Europe, write in these times of pandemic pages of solidarity and altruism, which explain the call and defense to be worthy of the prestigious award.

In MesOpinions.com you can read comments that highlight the work of the Henry Reeve brigade and the internationalism of the largest of the Antilles, attacked for six decades by the economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States, whose current government tries to hide and discredit with lies the Cuban solidarity against the Covid-19.

‘Cuba is an example of international aid’, ‘the contribution of Cuban doctors to the fight against Covid-19 is even more remarkable, because it comes from a country that has suffered a criminal blockade for 60 years’ and ‘Cuba is the the only country that once again demonstrates, in the face of this dramatic pandemic, what solidarity internationalism is ‘, are some of the opinions of Internet users.
