For his part, Cuba's Ambassador to Haiti, Luis Castillo, confirmed that the staff of all Cuban missions in Haiti were in perfect health and that no material damage had been reported in their buildings.
Cuban doctors will hold a mobile clinic in Port-de-Paix to treat post-earthquake diseases that pose a threat to health, said Oscar Fonseca, Coordinator of the Artibonite Department, explaining that after extreme natural phenomena, contagious diseases tend to reappear, which can endanger many human lives.
The actions of Cuban doctors, scheduled for October 13, target communes such as Bassin Bleu and others strongly affected by the earthquake.
