The Alliance For Change (AFC) has joined the growing call for greater appreciation of the long-standing cooperation and friendship that exists between Guyana and the Republic of Cuba.
For decades, the relationship between our two nations has been built on solidarity, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to improving the well-being of our people. Through educational exchanges, technical cooperation, and particularly in the field of healthcare, Cuba has consistently demonstrated a willingness to stand with Guyana during periods of need and development.
The AFC believes that this partnership represents a model of regional collaboration that should be recognized and valued.
The Cuban Medical Brigades have, for many years, formed a critical pillar of Guyana’s healthcare system. Their presence has helped address shortages of specialized medical personnel, strengthened services in rural and hinterland communities, and ensured that thousands of Guyanese receive care that might otherwise be unavailable.
Cuban doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals have worked side by side with local medical staff, often serving in challenging environments while providing high-quality medical treatment and training that benefits our national health sector.
As a country and as a political party, the Alliance For Change acknowledges and deeply appreciates the contributions made by the Cuban people through these medical missions. Their dedication has saved lives, strengthened our health institutions, and fostered goodwill between our nations.
For these reasons, the AFC supports the continued presence and cooperation of Cuban medical professionals in Guyana and across the Caribbean region, and advocates for policies that ensure this important partnership is maintained and respected for the benefit of all our people.
