HAVANA – A first group of Cuban doctors who treated impoverished patients in Brazil returned to Havana on Friday as both countries end a program that saw thousands of doctors dispatched to underserved areas.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel greeted 211 doctors who had worked in the South American country in exchange for hundreds of millions in badly needed hard currency given to the government.

They were among the more than 8,000 doctors that Cuba has recalled after rejecting conditions imposed by far-right Brazilian President-elect Jair Bolsonaro, who stipulated that doctors would need to directly receive their salaries from Brazil and be allowed to bring their families with them during their assignments, in addition to other conditions.

It's cute that the doctors aren't allowed to keep their pay, AND that they aren't allowed to bring their families. It's almost as if the families are being held hostage to prevent the doctors from defecting.

Someone want to ask Mikey Moore, the noted Cuban medical expert?

Yes, Cuba knows that if MD’s bring their families, they will not return.

It’s also sad that America’s colleges are filled with 100’s of thousands of students from sh*thole countries that are supposed to learn an important skill, then go home and help make their own country great again. Instead, they stay in the USA, having been brainwashed that America is evil and they must join the revolution here, while their home country is left to rot.

Those “doctors” were in fact security thugs working for the govt to be secret police in Brazil. Now that there is a new president who despises the leftist thugs he probably cut off the payment to Cuba. There is hope for Brazil.
