, based on direct testimony from 46 doctors with experience of overseas medical missions, plus public-source information from statements by 64 other medics:41% said their passport was removed from them by a Cuban official on arrival in the host country
"To those who fight for life, it is all the same in a modest Cuban neighbourhood or a village in the Amazon. More than doctors, they are guardians of human virtue," Cuba's leader tweeted. Then, she says,"I woke up one night, with someone holding my mouth shut. The doctor in the other room was screaming. There were two men in balaclavas, armed with guns." Julia says she was raped by both men.
During her journey into the state of Alta Verapaz, the mission co-ordinator began telling her about a rich man in the area, whom he referred to as an"engineer". Maria says:"He insinuated that he liked Cuban women." She says she was given a mobile phone, on which the"engineer" began calling her every day."I didn't answer, and I even changed the number, but still he called," Maria says.
She says she rejected what she considered unethical interference in honest medical care principles:"That is where my problems began because I wasn't going to lie. If a patient is ready to go home and take medicine orally, I am not going to have them admitted for five days on a drip. I can't say how many heart attack patients I am going to have in a given week."
She alleges her request to transfer a man with lung cancer to Caracas was denied so he would count towards her clinic's statistics. Carlos says he signed up for the medical mission to improve his financial situation. Instead of getting around $20 a month in Cuba at that time, he started earning $300 in Brión, in Venezuela's Miranda province, although he says that the Cuban government was paid more than 10 times that amount for each doctor on the Barrio Adentro programme.
