Guatemala City, Nov. 5 - Dr. Juan Pablo Velázquez, a graduate of ELAM, praised the role of Cuba's Medical Brigade, as today marks the 27th anniversary of their presence in Guatemala.
"Being here with you means something special not only for me but for all the colleagues who studied at that blessed school," emphasized the epidemiology specialist during an event held in the capital.
In front of a group of white-coated professionals from the island, Velázquez stated that discussing this period of service by the Caribbean cooperation is to speak of a history rooted in love, solidarity, and gratitude.
He expressed pride in being part of the first graduating class of the Latin American School of Medical Sciences (ELAM) in Havana and having the opportunity for direct contact with the Commander-in-Chief of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro.
