First 20 Cuban Doctors in
Nicaragua
The first 20 Cuban doctors
arrived in Nicaragua to
accomplish an agreement signed
in the context of the Bolivarian
Alternative of the Americas
(ALBA) and are already caring
for the population, confirmed an
official source on Monday.
Luis Carlos Avila, chief of the
medical group, told Prensa
Latina that the brigade, made up
of 16 specialists in
comprehensive general medicine,
a pediatrician, an obstetric
nurse and a laboratory
technician, are working in
different places of the North
Atlantic Autonomous Region (RAAN).
He added that another group will
go on Tuesday to the South
Atlantic Autonomous Region (RAAS)
which, like RAAN, is inhabited
by different indigenous groups.
The Cuban doctors will also
teach at the Latin American
Medicine School to be founded on
the Caribbean Coast with 210
Nicaraguan students finishing
their degree on the island.
The first of the three
ophthalmologic clinics donated
by Havana began to work on
Sunday.
