The Miami Herald reports that Cuba already had 344 doctors and paramedics working in Haiti before the earthquake struck. Cuba has sent a brigade of 30 more nurses and technicians to Port-Au-Prince to help. But like all the other medical teams they too are struggling to care for patients with little or no medical supplies as fears grow over a collapse of all medical assistance and under the threat of a massive outbreak of infection due to poor conditions.
