A special recognition of altruism marked the activities carried out for their 54th anniversary at the Carlos Manuel de Céspedes provincial hospital, in Bayamo, Granma, founded on October 10, 1967 by the Commander of the Revolution José Ramón Machado Ventura.

Miguel Alfredo Rodríguez Reyna, one of the directors of the Muebles Leo y Migue Cultural Project, from the City of Havana, received the Recognition on behalf of its other director, Leonides Castro Goida, and its 85 members, for having donated to the Bayamo’s hospital institution, during the Covid-19 pandemic peak, a total of 100 beds and eight cribs.

Doctor Adonis Frómeta Guerra, director of “Céspedes”, thanked the selfless gesture of these self-employed workers, who together with other actors such as companies and organizations were also articulated in the care of patients with SARS-CoV-2 together with the health personnel who occupied the trench in direct combat.

“Such work would not have been possible without counting on those insurers who, beyond our ministry, were generously contributing to this fight. These beds used in patients with Covid, will continue to be used here and in maternal homes in the territory, because their usefulness goes beyond the limits of the pandemic issue.

“These acts of detachment provide us with a way of teaching how together we can get out of different problems, we received IVs from the EMBA and other companies, and artists from the Cultural Property Fund lined the stretchers and repaired their wheels. We thank them on behalf of the institution, the people of Bayamo and the Provincial Health Directorate”.

Miguel Alfredo told the press that the Project, belonging to the Ministry of Culture, was founded almost 25 years ago, by artists united to carry out works of all kinds, although the strength is the furniture, and that they have always been on the side of the Revolution, supporting weather or health situations, for example, since the beginning of the epidemic in the country they have collaborated with the provinces of Santiago de Cuba, Matanzas, Habana and Granma and donated 12 thousand sanitary masks.
