AS THE world fights an international battle against the coronavirus pandemic, Cuba has once again proved itself a paragon of internationalism and solidarity.
Not only is the island is combating the virus at home, with 212 confirmed cases, six deaths and more than 3,000 patients under observation as of April 2, it is also sending teams of nurses and doctors to support foreign health services overwhelmed by the scale of the crisis.
Cuban medical brigades have already arrived in 14 countries, including Italy, Venezuela, Andorra, Belize, Angola and Nicaragua.
The brigade of 52 doctors that travelled to Italy received a standing ovation when they walked through the arrivals lounge.
