Posted by alex_c on February 8th, 2010
“The first US graduates of Havana’s Latin American School of Medicine are already healing victims of Haiti’s devastating earthquake, Cuban state media reported at the weekend… [the] young doctors had responded to a call last January by the US-based Pastors for Peace, urging US graduates from the prestigious Havana university to join a 350-strong Cuban medical brigade that had been working in remote Haitian communities for the last 10 years.
Pastors for Peace activist Reverend Lucius Walker hailed Elsie Walter, Nylon Manning, Wing Wu, Keyshia Covingtoa, Melissa Babie, Melissa Rose Michell and Martina Pierre as “dedicated and skilled young doctors who are ready to serve.”
