The 7th group of Cuban doctors under the Zimbabwe-Cuba health programme,
has arrived in the country to help boost the health sector in the
country and to assist the people of Zimbabwe.
The Zimbabwe-Cuba doctors' programme was launched in Zimbabwe in the
year 2000 and so far over 200 Cuban doctors have served in the country
under the programme , which is aimed at complimenting the number of
doctors in Zimbabwe's hospitals, at a time when the health sector, is
bleeding from brain drain.
The latest group of Cuban doctors comprises 64 young men and women
trained in the areas of paediatrics, gynaecology, neuphrology,
radiography, forensics, dentistry and general medicine.
Head of the Cuban medical brigade in Zimbabwe Dr Elision Fernandes said
the 64 new doctors bring to 136 the total number of Cuban doctors
currently deployed in Zimbabwe.
The group is currently on a two week English language course, after
which they will be deployed to provincial, central, and district
hospitals throughout Zimbabwe.
The Cuban doctors facility in Zimbabwe provides a comprehensive
programme that includes offering health promotion and prevention
campaigns to Zimbabwean communities.
This has seen some Cuban doctors working in some remote and rural parts
of Zimbabwe where some Zimbabweans experts shun.
Cuban medical practitioners are renowned throughout the world and they
have been deployed in various parts of the world including Europe , Asia
and Latin America.
The Caribbean country is also reputable for eye-cataract surgery and
eye-tissue grafting programmes which Cuba is working on extending other
countries where Cuban doctors are deployed.
