Helsinki, February 8th.- The main television channel in Finland, YLE TV, in its documentary section televised this Monday, the American documentary Cuba’s Cancer Hope by NOVA PBS to the delight of the public of this Nordic nation.
In the documentary, the role that the Revolution granted science as the engine of the project of a new socialist nation, from the idea of ​​its leader Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, is highlighted since the same triumph in January 1959.
The US Blockade, imposed in February 1962 by the Kennedy administration and which continues to this day, being condemned by most of the countries of the world, is the main obstacle to the development of the Caribbean nation. Despite the immense economic effects and the humanitarian impact it has had, it has not prevented Cuba from developing a national drug industry and promoting innovation projects in the field of science until reaching, among other results, the CIMAVAX vaccine against lung cancer, which is discussed in this documentary.
Cuba stands out in the world for being a land of men of science, as the head of the Cuban Revolution always wanted. Hence, many friends in the world today claim the Nobel Peace Prize for the Cuban internationalist medical contingent Henry Reeve, which has traveled to the 5 continents to provide solidarity aid to people affected by epidemics, natural disasters and catastrophes.
