The New York Times published an extensive report on health conditions in Haiti where he stressed the participation of the Cuban medical brigade which was instrumental in detecting cases of cholera and disease control.
Points out in his comment yesterday that today plays Granma, which from the beginning of the outbreak, only the Cuban Medical Brigade and Doctors Without Borders, self-funded, "handled the vast majority of cases."
Remember that everyone was in Haiti. Had the highest density of humanitarian actors in the world, but the Cubans and we tried to cholera patients, admitted to the U.S. daily Libessart Yann, a spokesman for Doctors Without Borders.
The daily said that the treatment offered by the Cubans, including antibiotics delivered free of charge to patients, prevented the deaths of thousands of Haitians.
Emphasizes that health authorities in the world, concerned about the cost and drug resistance in the beginning were against applying antibiotics and said to be reserved for severe cases.
The presence for 13 years of medical cooperation in Haiti is one such effort silencing victims of media censorship and arbitrary and premeditated.
For years, the international media have ignored the efforts and solidarity of the Caribbean island.
The renowned newspaper recalled that in 17 months the disease has killed more than seven thousand 50 Haitians and sickened more than 531 000.
