Cuban doctors<\/span><\/a> will treat residents of the city of Cuautla, in the Mexican state of Morelos, as part of an exchange with the local medical community, according to the city\u2019s authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The government of Cuautla announced the visit of “a delegation” of Cuban doctors with the objective of “generating an exchange of knowledge, experiences, realities and good practices” among doctors from both countries, <\/span>according<\/span><\/a> to El Diario de Morelos<\/em>, which does not specify the number of professionals from the island who will be arriving in Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n

The visit is scheduled “for the end of September” and is part of a common agenda between the Mexican city of Cuautla and the Cuban city of Matanzas, among which there is a Twinning Agreement that just turned 20 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Five or six exchanges have already been held” during that time, according to Nicol\u00e1s Rodrigo Aguilar, in charge of the Office of International Affairs of the city hall of Cuautla.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aguilar explained that on this occasion the exchange “not only consists in the visit, it is a concrete task with the local medical community and the No. 3 Sanitary Jurisdiction, as well as with other municipalities of the eastern region of the State, so that this also has an inter-municipal approach.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The exchange “foresees two weeks of visits to different hospitals” to which “the College of Physicians of Cuautla would be invited.” In addition, he said that the intention is that it “benefit the local population, with a mid- and long-term vision” and also for the island\u2019s professionals “to get to know a little of the local idiosyncrasy and culture.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The visit will focus on the treatment of ulcers and stomas, maternal death, and nephropathies.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It isn\u2019t about copying each other, but about exchanging, sharing and seeing the good or the common that exists between the two sister cities and applying it, tropicalizing it in the context of Cuautla and in the Cuban context,” commented Aguilar.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the arrival of Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador to the Mexican presidency, there was speculation that Cuba would establish a medical mission in Mexico, driven by the affinities between both governments and the end of the island’s cooperation in Brazil, but the president denied those comments.<\/span><\/p>\n
