Havana, Nov 30 (Prensa Latina) Cuban health professional Juan Francisco Rojas said in Havana on Friday that during his mission in Brazil''s More Doctors program, he treated human beings who had never seen a doctor before. According to Rojas, Cuban humanism and professionalism were soon felt in that locality, as well as in many others throughout the South American country, hit by poverty, such as favelas or indigenous territories.
Our attention was integral and we would leave the meal if we had to do it to assist the needy, we would visit the patients' homes, whom we heard several times say: God in heaven and you (the Cuban doctors) here on earth', he stressed.
The collaborator from Holguin returned early this Friday morning to Cuba along with 203 other colleagues, adding up to more than 2,200 cooperants already in Cuba.
Cuban Ministry of Public Health announced on November 14 that it would no longer participate in More Doctors program, based on the Bolsonaro's position regarding the Cuban presence in the initiative created in 2013 by the then president, Dilma Rousseff, to extend health care to the poorest and most intricate places.
According to the president-elect, once in power he would force Cuban doctors to revalidate the degree and individual hiring, conditions that violate what was agreed in a program recognized as an example of triangular collaboration, because of the role of the Pan American Health Organization in it.
