The over 100,000 Cuban and foreign graduates from local medical schools rank among the top successes of the Revolution led by Fidel Castro since 1959.

They excel in knowledge and training and have helped cover the void caused by the massive brain drain the US encouraged since the very beginning of the Revolution.

Then President Fidel Castro forecasted that Cuba would multiply its universities and graduate thousands of professionals.

The Latin American Medical School, with branches at each of the 14 Cuban provinces that will soon celebrate its 10th anniversary stands out as the best example.

This year, the 50th anniversary of the Revolution, it will host the largest number of graduates since 1961 in a single school year, including those from 62 countries.

The above help highlights Cuba's traditional solidarity with scores of graduates working in medical brigades in 11 countries while others work as professors, said Public Health Vice Minister Roberto Gonzalez.
