Exporting Doctors

Bolsonaro is a breath of fresh air in Brasil. His new Médicos pelo Brasil (“Doctors for Brazil”) program will substitute the Mais Medicos” (More Doctors) program, opening 18,000 jobs to Brazilians. The 2,000 Cuban doctor defectors who chose to remain in Brasil, have been granted legal rights by a new decree, which allow them to solicit legal residence, allowing them to find jobs in the private sector. They would eventually be welcome into the new program

Medical staff at the private hospital Center Hospitalier des Spécialités de Nouadhibou, in Mauritania, where the Cuban brigade works.

14ymedio, Havana, 20 September 2019 — The death of Cuban doctor Juan Manuel Obana Borges, in a bathroom at the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, has put a new internationalist mission under the spotlight, this time the one established in Mauritania. After a strong conflict with the management of the hospital where he worked, Obana was expelled by the brigade chief and sent to France, where he was found dead from an alleged heart attack.

A nurse, Obana’s colleague from the mission at the Specialties Hospital Center of Nouadhibou, has sent a letter to 14ymedio in which she denounces the terrible working conditions faced by the team of 60 Cuban collaborators and asks to remain anonymous “for obvious reasons.”
The medical worker says that nurses take 24-hour shifts with just another 24 hours off, which is about 360 hours per month, 168 more than that established in international agreements, and they are not paid overtime.

Nor are doctors paid overtime, although they work from Monday to Sunday night. None of the collaborators are paid during their vacations and, if they must return to Cuba for some serious unforeseen event, the Government does not contribute to paying for the ticket, which can amount to up to 2,000 euros, approximately two months’ salary.

Cuban doctors generate billions in tax revenue by working for the Castroit regime while overseas. One of the regime most profitable business enterprises is the selling of ‘slave of white coats’ to foreign countries in order to procure hard currency. It is a modern day version of trafficking in human beings, a multibillion dollars form of international crime, a violation of human rights. The regime earns around $9 billion per year exporting professional services, especially doctors, to other countries, more than the $7 billion brought by tourism, nickel and remittances combined.

Repression remains unpunished and severe violation of human rights keep occurring in the case of health professionals. How come that the Castroit regime is not sanctioned for keeping alive at all costs this despicable method of slavery. On the contrary, it is supported by other regimes signers of the declaration of human rights of the UN. Until when will have the Cuban health professionals to withstand this slavery?
 
Cuba’s secret deal with Qatar to take up to 90% of doctors' wages
Cuba’s secret deal with Qatar to take up to 90% of doctors' wages | Global development | The Guardian

Most of the money earned by Cuban medics working in Qatar goes to their national government. But while some feel exploited, others tell a different story

Drive west from Doha’s glistening glass towers, past two World Cup stadiums still under construction and out into the desert, and you’ll eventually reach a small hospital surrounded only by sand and shrubs.

At its entrance hang two flags rippling in the scorching breeze: one of Qatar, the other of Cuba.

The hospital belongs to the Qatar government, but its entire medical staff – 475 doctors, nurses and technicians – is from the Caribbean island half a world away.

The Cuban hospital, as it is officially known, opened in 2012, boasting world class facilities and services. But there is one thing that is not up to international standards: the salaries the Cubans are paid.

At just over $1,000 (£778) a month, they receive as little as 10% of what other foreign medical professionals can make working in government hospitals in Qatar.

The remainder of their earnings are pocketed by the Cuban government under a secret deal with the Qataris.

The Castroit tyrannical regime makes billions of dollars each year sending Cuban doctors as slave labor to foreign countries. 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.” This human trafficking business have been the primary source of foreign currency of the regime. A very lucrative business for the regime indeed.
 
Phony patients, discarded medications: Doctors describe Cuban cooperation missions
Access Denied

BY NORA GÁMEZ TORRES
OCTOBER 02, 2019 07:00 AM

Every day, Cuban doctor Ramona Matos invented the names of as many as 30 patients she had never seen in San Agustín, a town in the Bolivian Amazon.

The doctor was part of Cuba’s medical mission in that country in 2008. But Matos realized that the Cuban government inflated the statistics related to the cooperation program when she was compelled to do the same for her supervisors.

On her first day at work in Bolivia, Matos called her boss to inform him that she had not seen any patients.

“He told me, ‘You have to invent names, invent diagnoses,’ and that’s what I did for a month. If not, he would send me to Cuba to be punished and without access to the money from my salary that they deposited in a bank account in Cuba.”

But Matos said that the greatest “horror” was the destruction of medications.

Cuban doctors in Bolivia not only made up the names and addresses of patients they had never seen, they also faked diseases and diagnoses, accompanied by drug prescriptions for treatments that never happened.

Cuban doctors have to invent diagnosis and the names of patients they had never seen, and write prescriptions for treatments that never happened. The prescribed medication were destroyed in order to make believe they had been used by the fake patients. These same practices have been taking place in Venezuela. What irony, the medications are thrown away, and Cubans are suffering from shortages of medicines.
 
Ecuador shuts down Cuban medical program
Access Denied

The government of Ecuador announced Tuesday that it will suspend the hiring of about 400 Cuban doctors, in another blow to a controversial program through which the island’s government sells medical services to foreign countries.

“These agreements will no longer be renewed, they will be terminated, and that will open 400 vacancies” for Ecuadorian doctors, said Ecuador’s Minister of Government María Paula Romo at a press conference.

Romo said the government was also investigating the entry into Ecuador of 250 people with official Cuban passports during the violent protests that broke out after the elimination of a gasoline subsidy in early October.

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.

A first group of 173 Cuban doctors returned to the from Ecuador, days after the government of that country ended the agreements it had with Cuba in the face of the alleged participation of Havana in the protests of early October in the South American country.

The doctors arrived yesterday in the early morning at the airport of Santiago de Cuba, in eastern Cuba, where a part of them disembarked, and then the plane resumed its route to Havana, where the rest of the professionals on board got off.

Another plane with 183 professionals was scheduled to land yesterday afternoon in Santiago, coming from Ecuador, where 382 Cuban doctors worked and will now be replaced by local specialists, according to the Ecuadorian government.

The governments of Cuba and Ecuador signed an agreement that definitively terminates six specific professional services agreements in the scientific and technical assistance areas between the two countries, the island’s Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP) reported this Wednesday.

A total of 382 Cuban health professionals working in 23 of the 24 provinces of Ecuador returned to Cuba this week, after the government of President Lenín Moreno announced on November 12 the end of the health agreements and that the island’s doctors would be replaced by locals.

In the agreement, the Ecuadorian authorities alleged economic reasons to conclude and not renew the agreements that were in force since 2009, according to the MINSAP note, which does not specify the date and place of the signing of the document.

Ecuadorian media had previously reported that the government of Quito had ended the agreements after verifying that during the riots of early October in Ecuador there had been an unusual flow of foreigners in the country with official Cuban passports.

Of the 702 Cubans on the Medical Mission in Bolivia, Only 205 Were Qualified Healthcare Providers – Translating Cuba

14ymedio, Havana, 29 November 2019 — Only 205 of 702 Cuban doctors who were deployed in Bolivia were qualified healthcare providers, as revealed on Thursday by Aníbal Cruz, Bolivia’s Minister of Health. Bolivia’s provisional Government under Jeanine Áñez has reviewed the documents of these professionals and concludes that the majority, in fact, were technicians or drivers, with doctors representing a small number. However, everyone was charged for as medical professionals.

As of October 2019, the Bolivian Government had spent about 7.7 million dollars on the Cuban mission according to the available data, although the Health authorities have commissioned an audit to fully understand its operations and the economic expenditure it represented for the Bolivian State. The study will also cover the Health Services Department.

“This year approximately 78,764,889 Bolivian pesos ($ 11,390,426) have been used and 53,121,000 Bolivian pesos ($ 7,681,987) have been paid for this personnel,” Cruz denounced in an interview in Unitel.

“Instead of economic aid to the country it was a damage, but it benefited Cuba economically.”

Only 29% of the personnel deployed in Bolivia by the Castroit regime where healthcare providers. The rest were technicians, drivers and the regime security agents, but all of them were paid as medical professionals. Many of those so call ‘doctors’ are really agents of the regime with the mission to destabilize the institutions of the country.

Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia and Chile fine out that the so call ‘doctors’ participated in the recent violent protests in those countries, inciting riots and promoting looting and were expelled. In reality, they are spies spreading the Castroit regime communism throughout Latin America.

For years, Uruguay has been a very popular place for Cuban doctors to go on an official mission, due to its social stability. (Cadena Agramonte)

14ymedio, Havana, 8 December 2019 — The Cuban medical mission in Uruguay is at the center of an intense controversy over its professional abilities. Six of nine ophthalmologists on the Island who participated in the Miracle Mission failed to revalidate their titles in the South American country, according to an extensive report published this Sunday by the local newspaper El País.

The Uruguayan ophthalmology chair reproached a group of Cuban doctors who had previously performed operations at the Hospital de Ojos (Eye Hospital). “Despite the fact that the Uruguayan teachers concluded that they [the Cuban doctors] did not know enough, they had practiced for two years,” the article details.

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons has reported that “more than 75% of ‘doctors’ with Cuban ‘medical degrees’ flunk the exam given by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates for licensing in the U.S.” No wonder those Cuban ‘doctors” failed the test given by the Uruguay Graduate School.

The Castroit regime representative in Uruguay said, “We only send them the best.” If that happened with the best, imagen what have been the results if the regime has sent regular doctors.
 
Aside from old books used in their training, Cuban medical students and doctors must contend with a lack of modern equipment and, often, of drugs and diagnostic tools taken for granted in other countries. Cuban doctors face great challenges in revalidated their title to practice in many countries.

The emphasis of the regime is not in the training to produce quality physicians, but it is in the ‘quantity’ to produce them, since the regime earns $8 billion a year in revenues from professional services carried out by its doctors, the slaves in white robes.
 
Organization of American States: Cuba’s Slave Doctor Program Is Human Trafficking
Organization of American States: Cuba's Slave Doctor Program Is Human Trafficking

By BEN Kew, 20 Dec 2019

The Organization of American States (OAS) hosted a conference on Wednesday denouncing Cuba’s use of international slave doctors that continue to form an integral part of the communist regime’s foreign policy.

Cuba has for decades used “medical diplomacy” to develop and maintain ties with countries around the world, including its closest ally, Venezuela. Since the Castro regime came to power in 1959, tens of thousands of Cuban doctors have also been sent on humanitarian missions to over 90 countries.

After being forced to travel abroad, most doctors do not get to keep most of their salaries, with the communist regime skimming off millions of dollars in profits to help maintain their repressive military state and offering a tiny “living stipend” to those who do the work.

According to the anti-slavery charity Unseen, human trafficking is defined as the “movement of people by means such as force, fraud, coercion or deception, with the aim of exploiting them.” This is noted by the OAS, which notes in its summary of the event that the regime is accused of “exploiting thousands of its citizens [by] forcing their participation in the program in a manner consistent with human trafficking.”

At last the Organization of American States has the guts to label the Castroit regime doctors program for what it is a “Slave Doctor Program.” Cuban doctors have got tired of being slaves and have broken ties with the regimen, leaving the programs by the thousands. Not only doctors, but Cuban artists and athletes too have defected during overseas trips for decades.
 
The Castroit tyrannical regime has taken control of all mean of production by force, and has leveled excessive taxes and excessive regulations. The immoral practice of Socialist serfdom by the regime is just a modern variation of medieval serfdom. Hope of real freedom for the Cuban people is not so far away.

Idalma Leyva, a 54-year-old Cuban doctor and specialist in ‘Comprehensive General Medicine’, lives in Nova Odessa, São Paulo, Brazil. Many things have happened in her life, ever since last November 13th.

On that day, the Cuban government withdrew from the ‘More Doctors’ program, a collaboration agreement between the Brazilian government, the Pan American Health Organization (OPAS) and the government of Cuba, which had been signed in 2013 during the presidency of Dilma Rousseff. Once Cuba left, the program was closed on February 7, 2019.

There are many myths that the Castro regime has successfully propagated over the years. The international community deeply believes one of the biggest and most dangerous whoppers, that Cuba’s healthcare system under the current communist system is a success that turned the island into a medical super power. This fabricated fiction needs to be addressed to save lives both inside and outside of the island at this critical time.

We can’t trust any health statistics of the Castroit regime. The regime good health indices are fake. The health care system remain governed by centralized planning, which inevitably leads to chronic material shortages and inefficiency. One of the most readily apparent problems with the health care system is the severe shortage of medicines, equipment, and other supplies.
 
Cuban medical care has never recovered from Castro's takeover, when the country’s health care ranked among the world's best. Many treatments we take for granted aren't available at all, except for the Communist elite and foreigners with dollars. For them, the Castroit regime keeps hospitals equipped with the best medicines and technologies available.
 
The communist regime did not want to reveal to the world the existence of an epidemic of dengue fever in the spring and summer of 1997 because it was a personal embarrassment to Fidel Castro, who had previously declared that the mosquito responsible for dengue, the Aedes aegypti, had been eradicated long before by the long arm of the Revolution. This excellent article about the Dengue Epidemic is a must read:

For decades, the propaganda machine of Fidel Castro’s dictatorial communist regime created an illusion woven from Havana. It made the world believe that the professionalism of Castro’s Cuba’s doctors was almost irreplaceable. That their knowledge was superior to the health care offered in the rest of the world. That medical propaganda was woven over the years, and many countries -accomplices- embraced such fantasy.

An article by Octavio Gómez Dantés for Nexos Magazine

In search of explanations for the growing problems in the health sector, President López Obrador spoke a few months ago about the alleged lack of doctors in the country: “There are 270,000 doctors, and we must have, according to international standards, 393,000. We are short 123 000”. “Besides, the doctors there are,” he added, “do not want to go and work in remote communities”.

These statements seemed to pave the way for a measure that will hardly help solve the critical situation our country’s health services are going through: the hiring of Cuban doctors who, until recently, worked in the Mais Medicos program in Brazil. The government has not ruled out the possible arrival of a group of Cuban doctors specialized in intensive care that would help meet the demand associated with Covid-19.

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.

President Trump is unhappy with the response of the World Health Organization to Covid-19 and has promised to take a “good look” at its U.S. funding. Hallelujah. If the coronavirus prompts a Washington audit of the practices of the WHO, a devastating storm will have blown some good.

A review of the WHO’s Western Hemisphere subsidiary, the Pan American Health Organization, or PAHO, is also in order. Its record of supporting antidemocratic regimes seeking to destabilize legitimate governments weakens public health rather than strengthening it.

The U.S. once played a lead role at PAHO, and the organization achieved substantial gains against infectious diseases. In the 1950s and 1960s, dengue fever was eradicated in most of the region.

But governments pay the regime for Cuban health-care workers, who then receive a small wage from the regime, which leaves them impoverish.

In the early hours of Monday morning, more than 200 healthcare professionals from Cuba touched down on South African soil.

Arriving at the Waterkloof Air Force Base in Pretoria to great fanfare, Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize says they came at the government’s request.

Mkhize added that they would be deployed across the country based on the spread of the pandemic – you can see that breakdown here.

DOES FORCED LABOR OF CUBAN DOCTORS AND SHIPYARD WORKERS AMOUNT TO A CONTEMPORARY FORM OF SLAVERY?
Click to expand...
https://www.cubacenter.org/archives...kers-amount-to-a-contemporary-form-of-slavery

May 12, 2020

Ms. Urmila Bhoola, the UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences, along with Ms Maria Grazia Giammarinaro, UN Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially in women and children, sent a letter on November 6, 2019 to the Cuban government regarding the regime's medical missions in which the special rapporteurs indicated that "according to forced labor indicators established by the International Labor Organization. Forced labor constitutes a contemporary form of slavery."

However this is not the first time that the issue of the Castro regime engaged in the trafficking of Cuban workers was addressed formally as a contemporary form of slavery. Fourteen years ago a civil suit was filed in a U.S. District court in Miami that disclosed "that up to 100 Cuban shipyard workers are forced to work against their will at Curacao Drydock Co., a ship repair company with an agent in Delray Beach, Klattenberg Marine Associates" in conditions that were "practically slave labor" fixing up vessels. The suit was filed by three workers who escaped [ Alberto Justo Rodríguez, Fernando Alonso Hernández and Luis Alberto Casanova Toledo] and revealed that "they were ordered to work 16-hour shifts for $16 a month." ... "According to the suit, the men often worked 112 hours a week. Their wage amounted to 3 ½ cents an hour." The suit was filed in August 2006 and was first reported by the Associated Press. The Cuban government was using the Cuban workers' labor to pay back what the regime owed to Curacao Dry Dock Company for the repair of Cuban ships.

Similar to the Cuban doctors, the shipyard workers upon their transfer to Curacao had their passports seized, and were monitored by state security and held against their will.

Of course, its amount to a contemporary form of slavery. It is a modern day slavery enterprise. The Castroit regime is profiting billions of dollars via forced human labor. For decades the communist regime has forced thousands of its medical professionals into foreign missions around the world and pocketed an average of $10 billion annually.
 
The doctors that are sent by the regime to work overseas is akin to human trafficking. They less than 20 percent of what those countries pays for their service, and the regime pockets over 80% of their salary. This is a multi-billion dollar form of international organize crime, a modern-day slavery.
 
Doctors who refuse to become a money making export for the regime, are punishing by lowering their professional status, canceling their internet and email accounts, denied advancement in their careers and punished in other ways.
