This is "the second Cuban brigade that traveled to Italy to collaborate in
the fight against the pandemic," he said.

*"A brigade of eleven collaborators from the Henry Reeve International
Contingent left today for Togo, in sub-Saharan Africa, to support the
confrontation with the COVID-19. This is the first time that a Cuban
medical brigade will bring health to that nation." *

This new medical brigade to Italy is made up of 20 doctors and 18 nursing
specialists, according to teleSUR's Havana correspondent Nayara Tardo.
