Spanish NGO awards Cuban doctors in Haiti.

ESPAÑA, February 28th, 2011.- The Francisco Saenz Porres Civic Forum in Logroño, capital of the Spanish autonomous community of La Rioja, acknowledged the humanitarian work carried out by Cuban doctors in Haiti over the past 12 years.

The non-governmental organization granted its 10th Justice and Solidarity Award to the Cuban physicians who were working in Haiti when an earthquake shook that country in 2010, continued working after the disaster, and are now fighting a cholera epidemic.

According to the Civic Forum, this annual award is granted to people or groups of people who excel for their work in the fields of solidarity and human rights.

Cuban Ambassador Alejandro Gonzalez expressed gratitude for the award, noting that it is Cuba's duty to cooperate with other peoples in the world, particularly in poor countries. (Cubaminrex-RHC)
