Cuba announced on Wednesday it already sent doctors and medicine to Haiti following the devastating earthquake that struck on Tuesday and confirmed that collaborators accomplishing their mission in Port au Prince are safe.

"We worked in sending emergency medical aid to the brotherly republic of Haiti. We sent some amount of medical supplies and an additional quantity of doctors will travel there," said Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez.

In Haiti, there are 403 Cuban collaborators working, 344 of them are physicians and paramedics, and "only two of those living in Port au Prince had very minor injuries, the others are fine," Rodriguez said at the headquarters of the Foreign Ministry.
