Hundreds of people gathered in Cordoba City in the central region of Argentina for the inauguration of the Dr. Ernesto “Che” Guevara Ophthalmological Clinic on Thursday. It is part of the Operation Miracle health care initiative of the Bolivarian Alliance for the People of our America (ALBA), conceived by former Venezuelan and Cuban presidents, Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, to provide free medical attention to people affected by visual diseases. Operation Miracle has restored the eyesight of millions of people in Latin America and the Caribbean. The clinic was built by the A Better World is Possible Foundation with the endorsement of the Cuban and Venezuelan governments. It is inspired by the Cuban health care model and the Venezuelan Barrio Adentro medical program developed since 2004. Clinic Director Lucia Coronel said that the project is the result of years of work, while Che Guevara’s daughter Aleida said that the fact that the clinic has been built in a country that is not yet part of Alba means that “we do not work with government, but instead with peoples.” Laureano Ponce reports from Argentina for teleSUR.
