Honduras' Congress will award high distinction to Cuban doctors
Due to the circumstances marked by the world's epidemic of the novel coronavirus, the Legislative's decoration will be delivered in a virtual solemn act to the ambassador of Cuba, Francisco Emilio Delgado, and the head of the brigade, Dr. Blanca Toymil.
Local media outlets indicate that Cuban healthcare professionals have already visited about 12,500 Honduran homes in preventive work and health education.
The brigade that arrived on April 19 at the San Pedro Sula airport, the country's industrial capital, is made up of a dozen nurses specialized in intensive care, and four doctors divided equally between general and clinical medicine, an epidemiologist, the head of the brigade and a logistician.
Honduras' Congress unanimously approved after a single debate the proposal of the left-wing Libertad y Refundacion Libre (Freedom and Refoundation) party.
