PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (ACN) — The Cuban medical brigade in the twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago launched a health fair over the weekend, in which residents of Tobago accessed different specialized services, according to diplomatic sources.
A report by the Cuban embassy from the capital Port of Spain explained that the services offered to participants in the fair included angiology, neurology, nephrology, oncology and general medicine. The initiative included medical check-ups for nearly 100 people.
The fair, organized by Tobago’s health authorities and the Cuban embassy, was also attended by lawmaker and health services secretary Claudia Groome Duke, who met with the Cuban medical personnel and she expressed her gratitude to Cuban ambassador Humberto Rivero for the initiative.
The Cuban ambassador, who will soon conclude his diplomatic posting in Trinidad and Tobago, stressed the willingness and efforts of the medical personnel in implementing the initiative, which offered Tobago citizens some of the services that are not usually available in their island.
