<p>Cuba's Foreign
Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla denounced the claims by the U.S.
government about Cuban medical collaboration in the countries affected
by Covid-19.</p>
<blockquote>

<p><a href="https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/Cuba-to-Send-Doctors-to-Four-Caribbean-Countries-and-Argentina-20200325-0011.html" target="_blank"><strong>Cuba to Send Doctors to Four Caribbean Countries and Argentina</strong></a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>In an official statement, the Cuban government representative stated
that Washington's hostility towards his country cannot affect Cuban
solidarity with nations in need.</p>
<p>On his official
Twitter account, Parrilla denounced the U.S. allegations about Cuba's
reasons for providing medical aid and medicines. According to the
Cuban Foreign Minister, these statements show the little credibility of
the U.S. government. He also qualifies this as inhumane as the
permanence of the blockade during the exceptional situation due to the
virus spreading.</p>
<p>“Unfortunately, while
Covid-19 threatens humanity, the U.S. government is hindering the
combat of the epidemic by attacking countries that practice solidarity
and international cooperation instead of ending the illegal system of
unilateral coercive measures, such as the blockade vs Cuba” Parrilla
tweeted.</p>
<div>
<p><strong>"Cuba promotes peace, health, life. Proud of our health
professionals who from this island or from different corners of the
world join the fight against Covid-19. They embody the humanist and
solidarity vocation of the Cuban Revolution. "</strong>
</p></div>
<p>In other publications, the Cuban diplomat said: "Cuba promotes peace,
health, life. We are proud of our health professionals who from this
Island or different corners of the world joined the fight against the
Covid-19. They embody the humanist and solidarity vocation of the Cuban
Revolution."</p>
<p>According to Cuban
media, the political persecution and ideological campaign against Cuban
doctors began with the suspension of aid programs in Brazil, Ecuador,
and Bolivia. Cuban doctors serve in 65 nations, many of them affected
by the virus.</p>
<p>In his complaint,
Parrilla also mentioned that the U.S. government is pressuring the aid
recipient states to refuse the island's health services. He mentioned
that Cuba considers it immoral and unacceptable that the dignity and
professionalism of its health care workers be questioned.</p>
