During a virtual forum, convened by Unesco to discuss the consequences of the coronavirus in the cultural sphere, the Cuban minister highlighted the efforts his government is making to combat the global pandemic.

Compartir diagnósticos y soluciones e intercambiar las mejores prácticas nos hará más fuertes.

Likewise, Alonso denounced that Cuba is a victim of the US criminal blockade, since the US government prevents access to medicines, technology and participation in major events to combat Covid-19.

“Collaboration and solidarity should prevail, over political differences,” as Cuban doctors have demonstrated in carrying out their humanitarian work on the island and in other parts of the world, said the culture minister.
