Cuba is considering sending doctors to provide medical assistance to areas devastated by terrorism in Cabo Delgado.

This became known after President Filipe Nyusi met Cuban ambassador Pavel Hernandez for the diplomat’s farewell, after four-and-a-half years working in Mozambique.

At the meeting, Ambassador Hernández highlighted the strengthening of the two countries’ ties in several areas, especially the health sector in areas devastated by terrorism.

“We are talking about the possibility of coming back with doctors to support the current situation in Cabo Delgado. We are going to increase our cooperation in terms of education, specifically on health matters, and we have specific proposals to strengthen the country’s health system, especially in training,” the ambassador revealed after his farewell meeting with the head of state.

For the rest, Ambassador Hernández saw his four-and-a-half years in Mozambique as crowned with success and achievements.
“We arrived in Mozambique as long-time Cuban diplomats, and returned as sons of Mondlane and Samora. We lived through remarkable times. In these four-and-a-half years, we have lived the history of the country, from the experience of Idai to the fight against Covid-19, and we have brought to the country help from Cuban intensive care doctors,” he observed.
