Fidel believed a lot in the youth, says Cuban doctor in Venezuela

A young Cuban doctor in Venezuela reflects on Fidel Castro's legacy on the centenary of his birth, emphasizing his belief in youth and the ongoing internationalist medical mission.

A 27-year-old Cuban doctor from Viñales, Pinar del Río, is on his first internationalist mission in Aragua state, Venezuela, recently appointed to serve youth in the Medical Mission.

The doctor asserts that Fidel Castro's legacy is more present than ever, especially his belief that youth are the future of the Revolution.

He highlights the quality and human warmth of Cuban medical care, which patients often prefer over paid services.

The mission was created by Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez, and the doctor says they are defending it 'a capa y espada'.
