Fidel receives final group from Pakistan medical mission 

BY MARIANELA MARTIN GONZÁLEZ-Granma daily staff writer-

YESTERDAY afternoon, President Fidel Castro Ruz received the final group of 
medical personnel that provided assistance in the most remote regions of 
Pakistan, following the earthquake that occurred last October 8.

At the ceremony to receive the 66 internationalists from the Henry Reeve 
Contingent, which took place at José Martí International Airport, the leader of 
the Revolution exchanged words of welcome with those who had just arrived and 
praised the attitude they had adopted during their seven-month stay in that 
nation.

Elizabeth Rodríguez, a social worker for the Operation Miracle program, stated 
that it was a privilege to have these men and women once again here in the 
homeland, individuals who have demonstrated completely the internationalist 
spirit of the Cuban people.

Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, deputy foreign minister and head of the Cuban State 
Mission in Pakistan, confirmed that our doctors and other relief workers had 
left their eternal mark on Pakistani soil. "Millions of people in that country 
are grateful to Cuba not just because our people saved lives and brought 
relief, but also because they shared difficult moments in which solidarity is 
proven through sacrifice."

In order to illustrate this page in the history of Cuban internationalism, he 
gave the example of a 72-year-old surgeon who traveled to Pakistan with the 
young graduates who make up the Reeve contingent. "The same spirit of combat 
has made them better human beings, and has transformed them into veterans," he 
confirmed.

A Cuban flag - embroidered by female members of the brigade working at Hospital 
16 in Abbas Pur in Kashmir - and one from Pakistan, bearing the signatures of 
the cooperative workers, accompanied the internationalists during their return 
journey.

The poem "Los Héroes" (The Heroes) by Jesús Orta Ruiz, read by schoolgirl Karla 
Teuteló and Eduardo Sosa's trova version of one of Martí's poems, provided an 
allegorical backdrop to this moment in which we recall that our homeland is, 
and will continue to be, synonymous with humanity.

Accompanying Fidel at the official welcome were Foreign Minister Felipe Pérez 
Roque; Rogelio Acevedo, head of the Civil Aeronautic association; Deputy Health 
Minister Gonzalo Estévez and Yiliam Jiménez, deputy foreign minister.
