Sierra Maestra discusses with the internationally recognized Swiss Oncologist Dr. Franco Cavalli, President of the NGO MediCuba Europe, a non-profit network of Organizations and Associations from thirteen European countries, that practices solidarity with Cuba in the field of health. Recently, the MediCuba network provided assistance and support to Cuba’s efforts to develop a vaccine against Covid-19. Dr. Cavalli, in this exclusive interview, refers to the US embargo on Cuba and makes his comments on the way the Cuban health system has faced the pandemic so far. He also explains the current structure of the Cuban healthcare system, its challenges and prospects and what lessons can be learned from it. Finally, he confirms – for the first time – the rumors that he was a member of the team of doctors responsible for the treatment of former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
