Rev. Lucius Walker, leader of the group Pastor for Peace, is in Havana accompanied by 13 US students who will study medicine in the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM) in September.
In statements to Prensa Latina, Walker said that the US scholarship holders have the hope to become doctors with the tradition of Cuban experts, as well as fulfill a dream to which they don’t have access in United States.
“We expect them to learn Cuban medicine’s values and traditions as many students from other countries have done,” he stated.
So far, there are 91 US students studying medicine in the ELAM.
