PRESIDENT FIDEL CASTRO REITERATES MEDICAL CARE OFFER TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE IN HIS REMARKS DURING THE TV ROUND TABLE.

Our country is ready to send, in the small hours of morning, 100
clinicians and specialists in Comprehensive General Medicine, who at
dawn tomorrow, Saturday, could be in Houston International Airport,
Texas, the closest to the region struck by the tragedy, in order to
be transferred by air, sea or river to the isolated shelters,
facilities and neighborhoods in the city of New Orleans, where the
population and families are that require emergency medical care or
first aid.

These Cuban personnel would be carrying backpacks with 24 kilograms
of medications, known to be essential in such situations to save
lives, as well as basic diagnosis kits. They would be prepared to
work alone or in groups of two or more, depending on the
circumstances, for as long as necessary.

Likewise, Cuba is ready to send via Houston, or any other airport of
your choosing, 500 additional specialists in Comprehensive General
Medicine, with the same equipment, who could be at their destination
point at noon or in the afternoon of tomorrow, Saturday, September
3.

A third group of 500 specialists in Comprehensive General Medicine
could be arriving in the morning of Sunday, September 4. Thus, the
1100 said medical doctors, with the resources described tantamount
to 26.4 tons of medications and diagnosis kits, would be caring for
the neediest persons in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina.

These medical doctors have the necessary international experience
and elementary knowledge of the English language that would allow
them to communicate with the patients.

We stand ready waiting for the US authorities’ response.
