Several Cuban exile organizations in Florida have announced that they are working on a project that would help Cuban doctors who are in the United States to practice their vocation again in Latin American countries, something that would negatively affect the controversial missions. doctors of the Castro regime.
This project comes as great news for the doctors who, tired of the working conditions in the aforementioned medical missions, decided to escape in search of better opportunities abroad and wish to continue exercising their important vocation.
Health professionals could be hired directly by Latin American governments, which would allow them to work without worrying about facing adverse conditions or having to hand over three-quarters of their salary to the regime.
Theoretically speaking, the governments that would agree to hire doctors in exile would be those allied with the US, such as the current president of Argentina, Javier Milei, and Luis Lacalle Pou, in Uruguay.
The proposal not only seeks to help Cuban doctors in exile, but also to improve the quality of medical care in regions that need it, since these countries will have dedicated and experienced medical personnel, while at the same time, the doctors will receive better conditions. jobs than those offered by the regime.
The organizations “Solidaridad Sin Fronteras” and “La Cruz Verde” have committed to ensuring that doctors can effectively integrate into their new roles, for which they are calling for legislative changes in Florida.
These changes seek to facilitate the incorporation of these professionals into international health systems, without them having to deal with certain obstacles that they currently face, such as the complex and expensive process to revalidate their titles.
Currently, it is estimated that there are around 33,000 Cuban doctors in the United States, who are willing to join this initiative, since the benefits are very great for both the professionals and the governments that are willing to hire them.
Cuban medical missions
The measure would be a hard blow for Cuban embassies in Latin America, since they use doctors on medical missions as agents of “Castro influence.”
Cuban medical missions have been criticized by the international community, as they are compared to modern forms of forced labor. Statements made by professionals who have deserted have caused the working conditions offered by these missions to be questioned.
Many of these doctors are envied by local doctors, who complain about the great difference in salaries, however, they are unaware that the Cuban government keeps almost 90% of this money.
