Havana, April 27 (RHC)-- Encouraged by the return to Cuba of the five anti-terrorists who were imprisoned for years in U.S. jails and of health professionals who fought Ebola in Africa, nearly 60,000 health workers will join the May Day march next Friday at Havana's Revolution Square.

The general secretary of the Health Workers Union, Doctor Santiago Badia, said that the sector will be represented by over 300,000 professionals at all activities throughout the island on May 1st, International Workers Day.

In Havana, the health workers will be led by the 33 professionals with the medical brigade that fought Ebola in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, said the trade union leader.

Other workers include those who have been involved in national health campaigns and activities, while the block will close with 10,000 nurses.

Doctor Badia said: “We are highly motivated to celebrate May Day as we recall the historic statement by Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro on May 1, 2000 when he gave his concept of Revolution, which guides us to any part of the world to honor the name of Cuba.”
