Bolivians Recognize Work of Cuban Health Personnel

Havana, July 5 (acn) Representatives of the high command of Bolivia's 
National Police praised on Wednesday the work of Cuban doctors 
currently making their contribution in the South American country.

Colonel Edmundo Nogales, Deputy Chief of the Department Command of La 
Paz, said that the quality of the attention given by the island's 
health personnel is extraordinary.

In a meeting with the Cuban ambassador to Bolivia, Rafel DausC!a, and 
with health authorities at a hospital and an ophthalmologic center 
donated by the island to the Andean nation, Nogales recognized the 
improvement of the Bolivian people's quality of life.

According to Prensa Latina news agency, the official also stressed the 
importance of Cuba's solidarity with the revolutionary process that 
President Evo Morales leads in Bolivia.

Cuban doctors in that country have thus far treated more than five 
million patients and saved more than seven thousand lives.

In addition, more than 100,000 low-income people, including 
Argentineans, Brazilians and Peruvians, have been operated upon or 
diagnosed in Bolivia thanks to the Operation Miracle free-eye surgery 
program.
