BUENOS AIRES – Argentina's president says Cuba has dropped its refusal
to let a prominent neurosurgeon leave the island to visit her family abroad.
The action solves one of the few disputes between the two countries.
President Cristina Fernandez has expressed happiness at Cuba's decision
to let Dr. Hilda Molina travel to see her children and grandchildren.
Argentine politicians and news media as well as international human
rights groups have long criticized Cuba's refusal to let Molina leave.
Cuba has sent thousands of doctors abroad on official aid missions, but
it restricts individual foreign travel by physicians. It argues it has
made too heavy investment in training them to see them freely emigrate
for higher salaries elsewhere.
