Pakistani earthquake victims in Cuba
. Initial contingent of Cuban doctors return
BY JUVENAL BALAN-Granma daily special correspondent-
A small group of six children, two young women and six men, victims of
the earthquake last October in Pakistan, arrived in Cuba aboard a Cubana
Aviation IL-62 in order to be fitted with prostheses and complete their
rehabilitation treatment that began in Cuban field hospitals located in the
area of the disaster in the north of the country.
14 victims of the devastating
earthquake last October 8 are to
receive prostheses in Cuba.
The Cuban doctors in Balakot made
history by climbing mountains,
backpacks on their shoulders to
bring health and life to those in
need. Now they are returning home
with their duty done.
Work is also underway on setting up a specialized workshop in a Cuban
medical mission in Abbottabad to increase the number of beneficiaries.
Currently, 80-plus patients are being rehabilitated with the help of a
multi-disciplinary group of orthopedics, psychologists and psychiatrists and
physiotherapists.
Aboard the same plane were also the first 74 members of the Henry Reeve
International Contingent who arrived in Pakistan eight days after the disaster
to offer their solidarity aid.
There were hugs, hand squeezes and tears in the eyes of many of the
Pakistani drivers who, with the doctors Miranda and Reemberto, supplied the
hospital under terrible weather conditions.
Alfredo and his general medicine specialists who, defying danger, khaki
backpacks on their shoulders filled with medicines, reached the mountainous
area of Balakot to attend to victims just a few days after the disaster. The
Pakistani soldiers in the region still recall with admiration the bravery,
integrity, and love of the white-coated women.
Also back are Mario and his brigade, who started working in the military
hospitals of Rawalpindi and ended their mission in Attar Shisha, where they
left a trail of affection and love among the population that received their
services. There was Miriam from Ciego de Avila, who attended more than one
birth and already has a newborn baby named after her.
Now Almanza, Gerardo and Amaury are climbing the steps to the aircraft. A
few minutes earlier Juan Carlos and Janielka had re-descended them, proud of
their participation in the World Social Forum in Venezuela. All of them belong
to the same collective that also commenced its labors in the Rawalpindi
hospitals, continued them in Hattian Bala working miracles in emergency
operations with the essential equipment and concluded by raising on high the
name of the Cuban field hospital in Muzaffarabad.
