Havana, April 22 (RHC) –- The Health Minister of Brazil, Arthur Chioro, highlighted on Tuesday in Havana that Cuba’s contribution to the program “Mas Medicos” (More Doctors), promoted by President Dilma Rousseff, has made it possible to expand consultations and services in communities, benefiting millions of compatriots.

In a panel on this public policy to guarantee universal access to health, held at Havana’s Convention Center, the Minister announced that more than 63 million Brazilians have been treated by way of that program in which Cuban professionals are in the majority in places of high social vulnerability.

In the presence of Roberto Morales, member of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party and Minister of Public Health, and other officials participating in the 2nd Cuba Health International Convention, he praised the commendable work of the 11,429 Cuban physicians currently working in Brazil.

Likewise, he highlighted the quality of care, commitment established with the population and the humane and friendly way the doctor-patient relationship is developed, and pointed out that this is the first time that they have physicians in all indigenous districts.

The program includes 14,462 physicians from 30 countries in more than 3,000 municipalities and 34 indigenous districts, stated the minister, who noted that it was very well designed and implemented, and has allowed for the expansion of quality primary health care services.
