“Strong ties were created between the Mexican people and the Cuban health workers. They cried when we left,” Lopez said.
Cuba so far has sent 44 medical brigades around the world to help fight COVID-19.
The Henry Reeves Medical Brigade was created in 2005 by the Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, to attend natural disasters and epidemics in the world.
