HAVANA, Cuba, Sep 23 (ACN) The Ukrainian TV show RANOK made a report in honor of the 15th anniversary of the creation of the Henry Reeve contingent of Cuban doctors, the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlights on its official website (Cubaminrex).

The report highlighted the work of this group in the fight against the pandemic in 24 countries around the world and reaffirmed support for the request to award them the Nobel Peace Prize for the work carried out in the tough battle against COVID-19.
The brigade was created on September 19, 2005, under the guidance of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro (1926-2016).
