Chapare, August 21 (RHC-PL)-- More than 11,000 free medical consultations were provided by Cuban collaborators and their Bolivian colleagues during the Cochabamba Tropic Health Fair, which ended Sunday.
The most demanded specialties were Comprehensive General Medicine, Ophthalmology, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Gynecology, Orthopedics and Traumatology, Allergology, Oto-rhino-laryngology and Dermatology.
Thousands of low-income people from Cochabamba regions came here to receive free high-quality medical care offered by collaborators from the Cuban Medical Brigade in Bolivia and professionals from the local Ministry of Health.
Boosted by the government of President Evo Morales, the initiative is aimed at bringing medical services closer to the residents in faraway communities.
Since Friday, August 18, patients suffering from cataract and other eye diseases have also been treated, and the medicines prescribed are also free of charge.
