"She had a condition where the digestive system would flood with blood, and the only treatment available is patented by the US. Cuba had the money to pay, but not one company in the whole global medicine market would offer it. Any pharmacological distributor daring to deal with Cuba would be investigated by the FBI. The government can pull out investment or boycott their goods. We couldn't get the medicine and the baby was dying. The only sin of that girl was the fact that she was born in Cuba." Camilo, former Minister of Fishing explains: You want to know if I'm privileged? Children of 'the symbol' have one advantage: a great part of the Cuban people still loves El Che. I often feel awkward about it, but a lot of Cubans treat us, the children of El Che, more warmly than others.

In that way we are indeed privileged. reply to unsubscribe http://www.focus-sa.co.za/ <http://www.focus-sa.co.za/> Sent via my BlackBerry Device from Vodacom - let your email find you! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You are subscribed.
