Translator’s Note: If memory serves me right, under the Obama Administration, WHO declared the free at the point of use healthcare system of North Korea to be the best in the world. The US threatened that if WHO did not amend its judgement – by adding the falsehood that the Socialist regime commits human rights abuses against its population – WHO funding would be cut and WHO individuals sanctioned. WHO did amend the Award – but added that the US was forcing this change and that the WHO officials who travelled throughout North Korea NEVER encountered any tyranny. Of course, what the US is doing to Cuba is just one more in a long list of atrocities and human rights abuses that have their origin in the smoke-filled rooms of Washington! ACW (20.5.2026)
The World Health Organization has awarded #Cubafor maintaining its historic validation as a country free of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis.
This recognition, delivered by its director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, ratifies an exceptional achievement in public health.
Cuba, which in 2015 became the first nation in the world to reach this milestone, continues to demonstrate that universal health coverage, firm political commitment, and robust primary care are fundamental pillars for protecting pregnant women and their children.
With this result, the country remains in the group of some twenty nations and territories that guarantee the elimination of these diseases in newborns, which is the result of decades of dedication by our health professionals, amid the worst economic blockade ever suffered by any nation.
I always wonder how much more we could do for our people and for the world, without the noose of the #GenocidalBlockade around our necks.
