In early August, a delegation of 82 Chilean volunteers from the Brigada Internacionalista Gladys Marín traveled to Cuba. The group delivered medicines, supplies, and an ultrasound machine to hospitals in Havana and Manzanillo, while also planning to provide school supplies and food to local institutions. Following these international contributions, healthcare professionals in Las Tunas and Camagüey were honored during ceremonies tied to the centenary celebrations. In Las Tunas, medical workers received the ‘Jóvenes del Centenario’ distinction and specialist titles. In Camagüey, the Ministry of Public Health presented the ‘Manuel Piti Fajardo’ award for long-term service, recognized scientific research, and awarded the ‘Internationalist Worker Medal’ to 15 professionals who have provided medical services in 34 countries. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-12: Healthcare professionals in Cuba receive honors in Las Tunas and Camagüey Medical professionals in Las Tunas and Camagüey, Cuba, received various honors for their service, research, and international contributions during celebrations of Fidel Castro's centenary. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/healthcare-professionals-in-cuba-receive-honors-in-las-tunas-and-camagey ### 2026-08-05: Chilean Brigadistas Deliver Medical Aid to Cuba for Fidel Castro Centennial Chilean volunteers led by Gladys Acosta bring medical aid and supplies to Cuban hospitals for Fidel Castro's centenary, highlighting historic Chile‑Cuba solidarity. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/chilean-brigadistas-deliver-medical-aid-to-cuba-for-fidel-castro-centennial --- Cite as: Fidel Castro centenary commemorations in Cuba.
