BOLIVIA, May 12, 2007.— Bolivian President Evo Morales expressed his respect and admiration for the Cuban doctors working at a new hospital officially inaugurated Friday in the Patankamaya municipality of the capital. "I admire you, because our people were never properly attended to," said Morales in his speech that opened the ceremony. Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque was also present. The health center is the 22nd facility built in Bolivia with equipment and medical personnel from Cuba. Morales said that the true ideology of solidarity is expressed in Cuba’s efforts in his country, where, 11 ophthalmologic centers have restored vision so-far to 80,000 Bolivians. (Cubaminrex-Granma)
