<p>"We defend solidarity, even in times of pandemic," Cuban Foreign
Minister Bruno Rodríguez said on Sunday on the social network Twitter. </p>
<p>According to
Rodriguez, new Cuban medical brigade from the Henry Reeve International
Contingent left for Italy, in Europe, this Sunday.</p>
<p>This is "the second Cuban brigade that traveled to Italy to collaborate in the fight against the pandemic," he said.</p>
<p><strong>"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." </strong>
</p>
<p>This new medical brigade to Italy is made up of 20 doctors and 18
nursing specialists, according to teleSUR's Havana correspondent Nayara
Tardo.</p>
<p>Similarly, the
country's Ministry of Public Health (Minsap) announced that Cuba sent a
team of 11 medical collaborators to Togo, in sub-Saharan Africa, on
Sunday.</p>
<p>"This is the first
time that a Cuban medical brigade will bring health to that nation."
Minsap Minister Jose Angel Portal said this Sunday on his Twitter
account.</p>
<p>To date, Cuba has
sent medical support to nearly 15 countries to address the COVID-19
pandemic. Among them, Italy, China, Grenada, Suriname, Nicaragua,
Venezuela, Jamaica and Angola, cooperating in the fight against the
pandemic.</p>
