Speaking on behalf of the visitors, Yusuf Kabbah, President, Sierra Leone Association of Ebola Survivors recalled that the Cuban Doctors saved over Two Hundred and Sixty (260) people who were in critical health conditions after contracting the virus.

He said the Doctors were very much active and instrumental in deadly zone attending to people, even in red zones where other people were afraid to reach.
