Mexico continues to finance the Cuban regime by hiring 363 more doctors.

The government of Mexico continues to finance the Cuban regime with the hiring of 363 doctors who recently arrived in the country, in an agreement that has generated controversy due to the crisis of professionals in the public health system in the Caribbean nation.

The Cuban Embassy in Mexico reported on Facebook that last Friday, 182 specialist Cuban doctors arrived via the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA), located in the municipality of Zumpango, in the State of Mexico, about 45 kilometers north of Mexico City.

"They will collaborate, along with their Mexican colleagues, in providing health care to the most needy in seven states of the country," boasted the Cuban diplomatic mission on social media.

Similarly, the Cuban Embassy in Mexico pointed out on Facebook that on Saturday another 181 arrived, who were located in nine states of that country.

The arrival of these new Cuban doctors fulfills the announcement made by Mexico last July, when it reported that it would increase the number of hired doctors to work in the country to 3,800.

This measure is part of the IMSS-Bienestar program, which aims to improve medical care in 23 Mexican states.

Zoé Robledo Aburto, director of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) and responsible for the consolidation of IMSS-Bienestar, stated in an interview with the leftist newspaper La Jornada that this new agency faces important challenges to ensure the operation of medical services and to guarantee that users receive quality and free care.

The regime in Havana needs income, which was previously greatly provided by medical missions, and Mexico has been an ally and supporter of the government led by Miguel Díaz-Canel, not only through the shipment of fuel and humanitarian aid but also through agreements such as the hiring of physicians.

However, at the beginning of the month, the Health Councilor in Ayotoxco de Guerrero, in the Mexican state of Puebla, ordered the arrest of two Cuban doctors who had recently arrived in the municipality to provide services at the community hospital of that rural area.

According to a video published by the local press, the official "confused" the doctors "with criminals" and, supported by a patrol, took them to the Municipal Palace, where they were detained without justification, although they were later released.
