Cuban Doctors to Advise Nicaraguan Colleagues
Cuban physicians arriving in Nicaragua in the coming weeks to assist the population of the Atlantic coast will also contribute to the training of their Nicaraguan colleagues, Health Minister Maritza Cuan informed.

Besides coming to render medical assistance, the Cuban doctors will be teachers, preparing us in the medical field, or any specialty in medicine, the minister told press.

According to Cuan, who did not announce the exact date on which the doctors would arrive, this is a way of making international cooperation sustainable.

The Cuban medical brigade will be composed of some 40 doctors, who will work in the very poor North and South Atlantic autonomous regions, where most inhabitants are Nicaraguan indigenous people.

Arrival of the Cuban doctors is part of the new cooperation agreements that are currently under discussion by Managua and Havana in the ALBA framework (Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas).
