Exporting Doctors

Re: ReThe Brazilian “National Federation of Physicians�, has said, “th: Exporting Doc

The cost of training doctors in Cuba is more than twice that the cost of training them in South Africa. Many SA doctors had criticized the program for many years and some has called for its termination. The Department of Health has giving job priorities to Cuban trained doctors over South African doctors. The money saved could be used for medical schools, and at the same time thousands of jobs would be created around these schools.
 
Re: ReThe Brazilian “National Federation of Physicians�, has said, “th: Exporting Doc

The Castroit regime send Cubans doctors to work for peanuts around the world. Many of them that accept to work overseas do so as a way to escape from the miserable life in the island. In many of those countries the doctors find out they are imprisoned in their new assignments. They work in remote communities with restricted means of transportation, and under surveillance all the time. Because they live their lives in servitude to work in those countries, many doctors in such medical missions defect to freedom. This is a modern day version of human trafficking, a multi-billion dollar form of international organize crime, a modern-day slavery.

Cubans women fertility rate is 1.7 birth per woman, one of the lowest in the world (rank 149 of 200, World Bank list 2016). Abortion keeps Cuban infant mortality low by the widespread use of it as birth control. Late abortions are performed in Cuba using the “Rivanol method”, where the unborn baby is expelled alive from the uterus and let die without medical assistance.
 
Re: ReThe Brazilian “National Federation of Physicians”, has said, “th: Exporting Doc

Under the Castroit regime, doctors work under great pressure exerted by the statistics to keep the infant mortality rate low. They increase the usage of contraception and abortion in order to lower maternal/infant mortality rate. Some doctors invoking “humanitarian” reasons for the sake of the baby, have killed newborns suffering from some type of defect or disease without the consent of the parents.
 
Re: ReThe Brazilian “National Federation of Physicians�, has said, “th: Exporting Doc

We can’t trust most statistics concerning Cuba. It is impossible for such a small, extremely poor nation to have such good health indices. Cuba's infant mortality rate is kept low by the regime’s tampering with statistics, by a low birth rate of 12.5 births per 1000 population, and by a staggering abortion rate of 77.7 abortions per 1,000 women (0.78 abortions per each live birth. Data based on official statistics from the Cuban government). Cuba had the lowest birth rate and doubles the abortion rate in Latin America. Cuba's abortion rate was the 3rd highest out of the 60 countries studied. (The Incidence of Abortion Worldwide | Guttmacher Institute)

According to UN figures, Cuba's current infant mortality rate places the country 24th from the top in worldwide ranking. According to those same UN figures, in 1958 (the year prior to the revolution), Cuba ranked 13th from the top, worldwide. This meant that pre-Castro Cuba had the 13t lowest infant-mortality rate in the world.
 
Re: ReThe Brazilian “National Federation of Physicians�, has said, “th: Exporting Doc

Another health parameter linked to infant mortality, is the maternal mortality rate. Cuba’s maternal mortality rate is 33 deaths per 1,000 live births. This health statistic is high despite the fact that Cuba has the lowest birth rate in Latin America. The doctors are supposed to suggest abortion in risky pregnancies and, in some occasions, must perform the interruption without the consent of the couple. Cuban pediatricians constantly falsify figures for the regime. If an infant dies during his first year, the doctors often report he/she was older (infant mortality rate is define by the number of deaths during the first year of life per thousand live births). Otherwise, such lapses could cost him severe penalties and his job.

Cuban medical care has never recovered from Castro's takeover, when the country’s health care ranked among the world's best. He won the support of the Cuban people by promising to replace Batista’s regime with free elections, and to end corruption. Once in power he made himself dictator and instituted Soviet-style Communism. Cubans not only failed to regain their democratic rights, their economy plunged into centrally planned poverty.

Many treatments we take for granted aren't available at all, except to the Communist elite or foreigners with dollars. For them, Castro keeps hospitals equipped with the best medicines and technologies available.
 
Re: ReThe Brazilian “National Federation of Physicians”, has said, “th: Exporting Doc

One of the most readily apparent problems with the health care system in Cuba is the severe shortage of medicines, equipment, and other supplies. This problem is by no means limited to the health sector. Cubans often have tremendous difficulty obtaining basic consumer goods and other necessities, including food.
 
Re: ReThe Brazilian “National Federation of Physicians”, has said, “th: Exporting Doc

Another indicator that Cuba couldn't have a good healthcare system is their former enabler: the Soviet Union was clearly well behind the US, UK and other western nations in the area of health care. Many doctors from the Soviet Union who immigrated to the US had great difficulty meeting the minimal standards to be a practicing M.D. in the US. Since the "great" Cuban health care system is modeled on the former Soviet Union's medical education system, the Cuban doctors confront the same problem.
 
Re: ReThe Brazilian “National Federation of Physicians�, has said, “th: Exporting Doc

Many physicians had serious complaints about the intrusion of politics into medical treatment and health care decision-making. There is no right to privacy in the physician-patient relationship, no right of informed consent, no right to refuse treatment, and no right to protest or sue for malpractice. Family doctors are also expected to report on the “political integration” of their patients, and to share this information with state authorities.
 
Re: ReThe Brazilian “National Federation of Physicians”, has said, “th: Exporting Doc

What is it that leads people to value theoretically "free" health care, even when it's lousy or nonexistent, over a free society that actually delivers health care? You might have to deal with creditors after you go to the emergency room in America, but no one is denied medical care here; even the poorest Americans are getting far better medical services than most Cubans.
 
Re: ReThe Brazilian “National Federation of Physicians�, has said, “th: Exporting Doc

The “Mais Medicos” (More Doctors) program is a modern day version of human trafficking, a multi-billion dollar form of international organize crime, a modern-day slavery. President Jair Bolsonaro called attention to the labor conditions of Cuban doctors that the Castroit regime sent to work in Brazil. Doctors’ family remain in Cuba and their passports are retain by the regime officials in Brazil to prevent them from defecting. Bolsonaro promise to change the program to protect doctors’ human rights. He said that Brazil pay the Castroit regime a considerable amount of money for the doctors’ services, but the doctors themselves get pay very little for their work.
 
Re: ReThe Brazilian “National Federation of Physicians”, has said, “th: Exporting Doc

Finally, after many year of mismanaging of the country by the leftwing politicians, Brazilians elected a president that is in a path to improve their economy and influence in Latin America. Bolsonaro, a strong supporter of national conservatism, has improve ties with the U.S. and advocated for pro-market policies. He has harshly condemned the Castroit regime and threatens to break relations with it.
 
Re: ReThe Brazilian “National Federation of Physicians�, has said, “th: Exporting Doc

The deterioration of the Castroit regime healthcare system is self-evident. It is a disaster for both patients and physicians. Cuban doctors are pay a meager salary, and many quit the profession and look for jobs in the tourist industry where they have access to dollars. The ones that remain in the medical profession have to work long hours in deplorable conditions. Many Cuban physicians in overseas missions defect to freedom.

Under the Castroit regime health care monopoly, the state assumes complete control. Average Cubans suffer long waits at government hospitals, while many services and technologies are available only to the Cuban party elite and foreign "health tourists" who pay with hard currency. Moreover, access to such rudimentary medicines as antibiotics and Aspirin can be limited, and patients often must bring their own bed sheets and blankets while in care.
 
1. I commend Cuba for sending doctors to other countries where people badly need medical care.

2. I commend Cuba for trying to offer medical care to all of its own citizens.

3. I am disappointed to learn that many people in Cuba are not receiving appropriate care.

4. When it comes to healthcare, we should stop all talk of politics and try to work together to fix the problems.

5. Our healthcare situation in the United States, let alone in Cuba, needs much improvement. Democrats and Republicans, if they really cared about the people, would work together to find some practical solutions.
 
in reality doctor diplomacy is no more than a trafficking in slave labor, which has become the regime greatest export, bringing more than 8 billion a year. Cuban doctors working abroad receive less than 25% of the wages earned and the rest go to the Castroit regime. A portion of their earnings are retained in Cuba and can be collected only if they return to the island. In odder words you support slave labor.
 
I will be in Holguin, Cuba for the first half of January. I say seeing is believing. What would you recommend seeing for those who want to SEE how the Castroit regime treats its people firsthand?

In response to your post: The Brazilian authorities discovered that some of the "doctors" are really spies with the mission of destabilizing non-communist institutions of the "host" country. In this case, host refers to the organism being fed off of by a parasite. The parasite in this case being the Castroit regime.

Try to gain the confidence of the people you talk to, in order that they will open up to you. Then ask about the school and health system that are praise abroad as great achievements of the government. What are their opinion? See if you can convince a teacher or a parent to take you to a school to learn firsthand about it, noticing the condition of it and talking to the students. Try to take photos of the school without been noticed. The main hospital in Holguin is the Lenin Hospital. Try to get access to the hospital by a worker of it or a relative of a patient in it. Persuade patients and relatives to share their stories. Notice the state of the hospital and take photos without been noticed.

Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia and Chile fine out that some of the so call “doctors” participated in the recent manifestations in those countries, inciting riots and promoting looting and were expulsed. They are really spies spreading the Castroit regime communism throughout Latin America.
 
President Bolsonaro says that he will grant political asylum to all Cuban doctors who request it and protect the doctors’ human rights, should be pay their full salary and be able to bring their family members. The Castroit regime pocket 75% of the salary Brazil pay for the 8,300 Cubans doctors. Those who request asylum will be punished by not allow them to return to the island for at least 8 years and will be separated from their families.

According to Yoani Sanchez “With professionals deployed in more than 60 countries, the money raised by this practice is Cuba’s largest source of foreign currency, estimated to exceed $11 billion annually.” A very lucrative business for the regime indeed.
 
PAHO has made $73 million off the Cuban doctors working in Brazil, a commission payed by funds withheld from the salaries of the doctors. PAHO supported the Castroit regime agreement scheme that violate international laws on force labor. The health organization is liable for its involvement in the illegal scheme.
 
The Castroit regime sees them as white coat slaves, and this is payback for the so call “free education” they received. The regime does the same with their athletes and engineers. When you don’t own the result of your labor, you are enslave.
 
The Kenyan Doctors that are receiving training in Cuba, complained about the cost of living and lack of food. The Castroit regime, according to the deal, would provide the doctors with accommodation and meals. But accommodations and food are in short supply. Kenyan Doctors in Cuba have to share a room in a cheap hotel (2 or 3 in a room) and lousy food. The regime has not lived according to the signed accord.
 
The Castroit regime practice of sending Cubans doctors to work overseas is akin to human trafficking. These doctors receive less than 20 percent of what other countries are paying for their service, the rest goes to the Castroit regime. Due to the fact that they live their lives in servitude to work in those countries, many doctors in such medical missions defect to freedom. This is a multi-billion dollar form of international organize crime, a modern-day slavery.
 
Bolsonaro is right on target. Cubans doctors in Brazil were “slaves in white robes”, where 75% of their wages were kept by the Castroit regime, forcing them to work for negligible salaries. There contracts ware ones of serfdom, treated them like property.
