The president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, celebrated the fourteenth anniversary of the signing of the Sandino Commitment, which aimed to provide free and quality medical care for Venezuelans.
This document was signed on August 25, 2005 by the presidents of Cuba and Venezuela, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez, respectively, and raised the attention of six million people, in a period of 10 years.
“We celebrate 14 years of Sandino’s Commitment! Agreement signed by our Commanders Fidel and Chávez to bring free ophthalmological care to all the brothers of the Great Homeland. The Cuba-Venezuela cooperation is the maximum expression of humanism and solidarity”, said the head of state through the Twitter social network.
A year earlier, on July 8, 2004, Mission Miracle had been created to settle the existing social debt there was at the time in ophthalmological matters in the most disadvantaged sectors, which was detected by Cuban cooperating doctors with the expansion of services of health achieved by Mission Barrio Adentro.
From 2005, with the Sandino Agreement, interventions began to be made in Venezuela, in different national health centers, to serve both Venezuelan patients and patients from brotherly countries.
