US Blockade against Cuba Is a Sin, American Physician Says

The U.S. blockade against Cuba is a sin, and it does not have no sense, said an American doctor participating in this capital in the 7th International Conference, PsychoHabana 2018.

That policy has been in force for more than 50 years and the only thing they have achieved is to make the island's people suffering, specialist in internal medicine, Allison Schachter, told Prensa Latina.

I hope that sooner or later everything will change, she said during the second day of the meeting, in which representatives from around 10 countries are participating.

There, the most progressive people are very motivated to change the state of affairs, which I consider to be a disgrace, the New York expert said.

Schachter participated in the session dedicated to the authentically Cuban psychotherapeutic method, Psycho-Ballet, about which she expressed great joy when she saw the ability with which young people with special needs perform their musical pieces.

I do not know if there is experience of something similar in my country, but I would be interested -for being a doctor specializing in patients with HIV/AIDS- to be capable of contributing to their quality of life, she stated.
