When a devastating earthquake hit Pakistan in 2005, Cuba sent 2,500 doctors and 32 fully-equipped field hospitals (of 44 in total sent by the outside world). The ‘Henry Reeve’ emergency medical brigade carried out 1.7 million consultations and continued working in the worst affected areas long after the TV cameras and other agencies had left.

Come and hear our very special guest from Cuba, the leader of Cuba’s mission to Kashmir.: Dr Juan Carlos Dupuy Núñez
