Cuban slave doctors in Mexico lack credentials and proper training

Translated excerpt with translator commentary:
From our Bureau of Latrine American Medical Powerhouses with some assistance from our Bureau of Surprises That Should Not Be Surprising
Oh, stuff like this has been uncovered many times before, but the world’s leading news agencies choose to ignore such revelations.
Cuban doctors and nurses sent to perform slave labor in other nations are usually so poorly trained that they are sidelined while they undergo the training they never received in Castrogonia.
It’s happening again in Mexico. No surprise. But good luck finding this story in El Niuyortain or any other prestigious news outlet. And good luck finding any criticism of Mexico’s socialist president for creating this mess.
Meanwhile, as these doctors ae sidelined while they undergo training, the nations who contracted their slave labor pay Castro, Inc. for their services. Nice racket, huh? Castro, Inc. collects their pay while the country that is paying for their services also pays for the training they never received in Castrogonia.
At least 20 Cuban doctors hired by the Mexican government to the island’s regime do not have a certificate that accredits them as specialists. This was confirmed to the newspaper 14ymedio by María Reyna Bárcenas Hurtado, president of the Federated Colleges of Medicine of the state of Morelos.
According to Bárcenas Hurtado, the health professionals from the island who arrived in Morelos last January, and who allegedly had previous experience in Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Guatemala and Pakistan, “have not taken up their duties” due to lack of credentials, reason for which, in addition, they were sent back to Mexico City.
It was a supervision carried out by the health centers of Axochiapan, Ocuituco, Tetecala and Temixco, which verified that the specialization of the Cuban doctors “did not meet the requirements of these hospitals.”
This happened weeks after Gil Magadán Salazar, leader of the union of the Ministry of Health, charged that Cuban specialists “had no experience” and stressed that “the official Mexican standard requires doctors to have their professional license to practice, and it is a requirement that they do not meet because they have not processed the apostille of their documents issued in Cuba”.
“One said he was an anesthesiologist, but he had no certificate, we have a dermatologist who has never practiced as one, and the others claim to be gerontologists, a specialization we do not need,” explained Gil Magadán Salazar, who also revealed that the Cuban doctors were enrolled in a training program.

OPINION: We Have So Much to Learn From Cuba by RFK, Jr.

Excerpt:
.....Despite its poverty, Cuba has managed some impressive accomplishments. Cuba’s government boasts the highest literacy rates for its population of any nation in the hemisphere. Cuba claims its citizens enjoy universal access to health care and more doctors per capita than any other nation in the Americas. Cuba’s doctors, reportedly, have high quality medical training......
*********
The above Cuban doctors have to be retrained to qualify as doctors in Mexico, that is the high quality training RFK, Jr. is talking about. He’s naive or towing the party line about the Castro regime 90 miles from Florida.
