Bolsonaro Never Expected Such an Overwhelming Response from Cuba

Cuba decided in the middle of this month not to participate in More Doctors because of questions and derogatory statements from the future ruler about the island’s professionals. Bolsanaro had a very clumsy action and never imagined that he was going to receive such a forceful response from Havana’, commented Sabino.

For the doctor, the ex-military ‘allowed himself to be dragged by political and ideological banners which respond to the interests of groups with a tradition of struggle against the Cuban Revolution and the left-wing parties, and did not think at any moment of the medical assistance of his people’.

Now, the doctor considered, ‘a country like Brazil will be left without medical assistance in the neediest places, in communities far from the big cities, in the original villages’.

Many Brazilian professionals are now registering to fill those vacancies left by the Cubans, but 30 or 40 percent leave each year, the doctor said, revealing that ‘it’s not the first time this has happened.

He explained that ‘by tradition, Brazilian doctors want to go to work in large urban centers, to go to private clinics. The market attracts them, the money’.

Only a professional, forged with ideals of humanism like the Cuban, goes to the places most in need of medical assistance.
