Havana, March 10 (RHC) Japan’s Non-government organization Camaquito and its embassy in Cuba signed a cooperation agreement with the health sector in Santiago de Cuba to contribute to the newborn medical assistance program.

NGO representative Mark Kuster referred to the donation of medical equipment including incubators for the gynecological and obstetrics areas of two hospitals in the province. He said the accords signed represent an example of collaboration between nations with different languages and cultures, but with similar interests in achieving the well-being of their people.

Japanese ambassador to Cuba Kenji Hirata said that they will try to benefit Santiago de Cuba with every aid cargo they send to the island, aimed at developing agriculture, fishing, and health.

The health director in the province Julio Guerra stressed the importance of the equipment donated to improve the mother-and-child medical assistance program and he called to strengthen the exchange between the two nations. (Source: ACN)
