U.S.
Interests Section holds video-conference on Cuban Health in
transition Havana,
Oct 19 (EFE).-
Members of Cuban
civil society, dissidents and diplomats attended a
video-conference organized by the U.S. Interests Section in this
capital as part of its "Series of Conferences on the Transition"
on the Communist-ruled island.
The video-conference, on the Cuban health care system, was held
Tuesday evening at the residence of the top U.S. diplomat here,
Michael Parmly, and was conducted from Florida by Cuban-American
physician Antonio Maria de Gordon, the co-director of Miami's
Westchester General Hospital.
The doctor gave a presentation about the state of Cuba's public
health system and its future prospects.
Among those attending the session were several well-known
opposition figures including Vladimiro Roca and formerly
imprisoned dissidents Marta Beatriz Roque and Oscar Espinosa
Chepe, two of the 14 jailed dissidents from among the so-called
Group of 75 who were released by the Cuban regime over the past
year for health reasons.
The series of conferences began in June and, since then, four
other video-sessions have been offered on the rule of law, the
judicial system, the public sector in a market economy and
possible solutions to the expropriation of property. EFE
