On the other hand, we see unequal opportunity to qualify. The situation demands that measures need to be put in place to ensure that those children are helped to make up for the difficult circumstances under which they received education up to high school level. Referring to the contribution of Cuban doctors in the province, Dr Sefularo said that Cuban doctors have made a huge impact on the quality and accessibility of health services in the North West Province. He said that detractors of Cuban doctors are now eating humble pie in the light of the excellent service that this rare breed of doctors are providing. Most hospital staff speak highly of their Cuban counterparts.
Cuban doctors are well-experienced and render a dedicated and selfless services to hospitals.
Many of you will recall that in May this year, I went to Cuba. Dr Sefularo said that the people of Cuba, including women and children, live a better life than citizens of many other countries which are by far richer and spending more on health care than Cuba. This comparison includes South Africa and the United States of America. These achievements by the Cuban people in support of their health has been possible despite the generally difficult conditions prevailing there. Through medical schools and other institutions, the best training is given to the young people of Cuba who want to be doctors, nurses, ambulance workers or qualify in other health professions.
