government is applying pressure on several countries, mostly in the Western Hemisphere and Latin America, saying that good relations with the Trump administration would require them to move away from this program of Cuban doctors being sent to their countries.
Cuba, according to some reports, has something like 24,000
medical professionals working abroad, many of them in the Western Hemisphere, in countries like Venezuela and many others.
And several countries recently have said that they are moving away from this scheme, countries like Guatemala, like Honduras.
There's strong evidence that the government of Cuba keeps most of the money that it gets from the countries that receive these doctors.
So it's not like the doctors are receiving the money directly when they go overseas to perform those duties.
Usually it's other
through government schemes in which the Cuban doctors get a relatively small portion of that money.
However, others argue that it is still, in some cases, a good deal for Cuban doctors who move there because they manage to save at least some money.
Still, the U.S.
government is saying that this is something similar to forced labor, and this is part of the argument that they are using against the continuity of this program.
Certainly, the Cuban doctors program is the main source of foreign revenue for Cuba.
There's hundreds of millions of dollars coming to Cuba via this program.
And this also adds to a very, very dire situation, as you described, in which the U.S.
has been undercutting a lot of conditions that the Cuban government needs to survive economically.
It is also a bad political situation because Cuba was getting and has been obtaining through all these years a lot of political goodwill from this program, sending doctors to developing countries that did not have access to these doctors.
So the fact that they might be losing access to this way of exerting influence throughout this program is also certainly a reason for political concern for the Cuban government right now.
