On January 31, the Mexican government reported that 552 Cuban doctors They were working in that country, by virtue of the agreements signed with the Havana regime.
On that occasion, Zoé Robledo himself indicated that the 552 doctors worked in 12 health facilities in the country. Of these, 68 new specialists have already transferred to the units where they will serve.
Among the health professionals in Cuba are specialists in Geriatrics, Dermatology, Allergology, Rehabilitation and Internal Medicine scattered in hospitals in states such as Colima, Guerrero, Michoacán, Oaxaca, Zacatecas and Morelos.
The “exchange” in health matters between Mexico and the Cuban regime dates back to the COVID-19 pandemic, when AMLO requested help from Havana to face the health crisis.
The hiring of Cuban doctors has previously been questioned in countries such as Brazil and Venezuela, due to the working conditions in which the doctors work and the rights violations to which they are subjected.
