The greatest Cuban scientist of all times, Carlos Juan Finlay y Barrés, proudly looks at his Army of white coats, of daily dedication, of high humanist and solidarity values, with unstoppable footprints in distant corners of the world.
Because the discoverer of the agent that transmits yellow fever is well aware that Cuban medicine is not exempt from challenges, from economic limitations, from an intensified blockade that has impacted access to resources and technology.
It is undoubtedly the Cuban doctor, with his white coat fluttering in the wind, a symbol of hope, love and commitment to a sacred mission.
Like true guardian angels, this force stands out in diverse scenarios, becoming a beacon of light in lands in need of their services, not only in the clinical field, but also in health promotion and disease prevention.
Beyond simple healing, Cuban medicine seeks to understand the patient, to listen to their stories, to understand the inequalities that affect their well-being.
Demonstrated resilience endures in these men and women of science who are constantly revolutionizing, who cannot stand routine, carrying with them knowledge and a deep commitment to humanity.
In every consultation, in every intervention, ingenuity is put to the test for the health of the patient to continue defending the noble vocation of saving lives.
The tribute dresses in white this December 3, after the work of Finlay, tireless worker, persevering and diligent, whose legacy of humanism, selflessness and dedication, transcends in the Army of altruistic sun that is sowing health in different lands.
