2 - A WAY OF SOLUTION
Finally ... without mutual and without solving the problem with the vision, more and more acute had the opportunity to consult a physician-member team of ophthalmologists in the Cuban-Health Center Ciudad de la Costa, name Yamyla, very sweet and gentle, he reiterated previous diagnoses, but did not tell us we were going to stay blind, but kindly invited us to travel to Cuba to treat the problem. A fundamental change in the medical treatment / patient (at least in the specific specialty and Cuba), in which the patient is not a source of resources, and instead (in addition to creating the possibility of applying knowledge acquired), opens the door for development among Cuban doctors and patients throughout Latin America A television, Fidel said "during the past year, from July 5 when he started Operation Miracle to restore vision to people with low incomes, were surgically treated in Cuba around 50,000 Venezuelans. and there are also others, from various countries: Caribbean, Panama, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, etc.. to total 122 000 518, who added more than 22 thousand 600 Cubans. He pointed out that Cuba may intervene now half a million people a year, but after 2006 the number may increase to one million and a half for the expansion of services in 12 hospitals in the capital and other provinces, some of which are already incorporated in the Operation Miracle. " "In this regard, he referred to the protest of some doctors in a University of Uruguay because three Cuban ophthalmologists in response to an agreement with the Government of that country, diagnose diseases from poor vision, to bring them to operate in Cuba. Fidel explained that arises, even to use technology transfer to some countries to do this type of surgery with modern equipment, and all free of charge "(La Demajagua, Digital Journal, 3/20/1906)

solidarity with the Cuban government, and the mate, here we go. Without spending a single penny, unless the ticket price to reach the meeting venue, in downtown Montevideo. We will take a plane that will take us to a few dozen fellow to Havana. We will stay (as long as is necessary) in an apartment complex, (a kind of holiday camps), receive medical attention before, feeding three times a day and reconstructive surgery. The stay will continue during the postoperative period, and finally take the flight back to our country ...
47 years ago, maybe a little less, the Americans launched a campaign against the Cuban government, accusing it of "trying" or " intend "to export the Revolution of 1 January 1959, the rest of Latin America. Actually, Cuba is exporting a revolution to share with their American brothers poorest, knowledge and technique to restore health, and in this particular case, the vision. Think it's another world.
