You contribute daily to protect the health of our people, from the most diverse scenarios, Portal stressed in a letter published on the website of said portfolio on occasion of Cuban Science Day.

“From our institutes, university classrooms, modern laboratories with state-of-the-art technology, or our communities… each of their ideas and research have been essential to provide us with technological sovereignty, in the midst of a complex epidemiological context,” Portal stressed.

An indisputable milestone “that we cannot fail to recognize today, is the development of our own vaccines that allowed us a dizzying pace of immunization among our population, including pediatric for children over two years of age,” said the headline.

It is something achieved by few nations in the world and demonstrates the great potential of Cuba and its professionals, he asserted.

Doing science in Cuba will never cease to be a challenge when it comes to material resources, and before those unquestionable limitations, our researchers and scientists always know how to grow and that is their best tribute to life, Portal highlighted.
