Bolsonaro Never Expected Such an Overwhelming Response from Cuba

Brasilia - President-elect Jair Bolsonaro never expected such a conclusive response from Cuba that it ended its collaboration in the More Doctors program and now this honorable decision has caused health chaos in Brazil, Brazilian doctor Daniel Sabino, who graduated in Cuba in 2010, told Prensa Latina.
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.
