We just learned that Mexico is going to bring in more Cuban doctors. So is Mexico facing a doctor shortage or does Cuba need more dollars by renting its medical personnel? This is the AP story:
The system also will seek to double the approximately 600 Cuban doctors who have been offered jobs in Mexico.
While many Mexican hospitals lack specialized doctors — especially in rural or violence-plagued areas — the country’s health care system has even starker deficits of medicines, hospitals and equipment.
Patients’ relatives often have to go and search for medications, surgical supplies and donated blood in order to get the care their loved ones need.
That is largely the result of decades of under-investment in the health care system.
Underinvestment in health care? Never heard that before. However, we know that Cuba uses these “doctors” to promote a larger agenda.
