17th Brigade of the Red Cross in Santa Clara, humanism paradigm
Abstract
The Red Cross is an independent relief society, serving the humanitarian community and acting in different contexts. The Red Cross of Santa Clara, through the sanitary work of the 17th Brigade, deployed active participation in the military health during the taking of the city. Its brigade showed signs of humanism and respect in compliance with the principles and rules of International Humanitarian Law; also participated in the Literacy Campaign in the fight against bandits and farming, among other activities. Serve this material as a modest tribute to the dedicated work of the Red Cross and contribute to the formation of professional values in the Cuban Public Health.
