Since its beginnings, the Revolution has had to take on the challenge of being the standard-bearer of humanism in the midst of a world where the ideology of individualism and barbarism prevails with increasing force.  Imbued with the internationalist spirit of socialism, Cuban medical cooperation has become one of the most visible and impactful examples of how much can be done for one's neighbor in the name of the humble and of love.  It is no coincidence that it is -- especially in these times -- the target of imperial harassment, which articulates, with undisguised hatred, surgical campaigns to undermine the performance of the Cuban army of white coats....
