This May, when the earthquake’s death toll passed 60,000 and another 30,000 poured into hospitals in Southwest China’s Sichuan province, Cuba responded to the call for medical assistance with a team of 35 health professionals. At their helm: Dr José Jorge Rodríguez, who arrived on May 23, less than a week after our interview in Havana. At press time, the team was working at the province’s largest public hospital, treating victims of the massive quake and its aftershocks.
