Cuba will send more medical doctors to South Africa. Cuban ambassador to South Africa, Carlos Fernandez de Cossio visited the Polokwane and Tshilidzini hospitals in Limpopo on Monday to observe the work done by Cuban doctors in the country.

De Cossio says: “We’re expecting 94 new doctors before the end of the year to come to South Africa. Some of them will come to the province of Limpopo. Well, there will be additional contribution.”

De Cossio adds: “They’ll be working together with the South African doctors to continue to provide health care to the people here. They are highly qualified, they are motivated, they have got experience of working in other countries and I think they can be of help here.”

“And I can appreciate the effort of the government for the delivery of healthcare service. Our aim is to work together to see how the two countries with our respective strength can continue to cooperate for the mutual benefit,” the ambassador explained.

More than 300 doctors have been sent to work in the country since 1994.
