Guatemala
-
The
Cuban
Medical
Brigade
(BMC)
in
Guatemala
closed
the
first
semester
of
2011
with
the
satisfactory
fulfillment
of
principles
of
solidarity
and
brotherhood
between
both
peoples,
national
coordinator
Reinaldo
Pons
stated.
Some
332
Cuban
collaborators
are
still
working
in
this
country
with
a
preventive-curative
or
clinical-epidemiological
focus,
which
characterizes
our
training
and
the
objectives
of
our
work,
Pons
told
Prensa
Latina.
Retelling
the
first
six
months
of
2011,
the
top
leader
of
the
island�s
cooperation
in
this
sphere
said
the
contingent
is
comprised
of
57
in
Operation
Miracle
free
eye
surgery
program,
and
275
in
the
integral
health
plan.
Of
them,
238
are
physicians
in
different
specialties,
81
in
hospitals,
152
work
in
different
primary
care
levels,
and
five
in
the
ministry
of
the
branch
and
the
BMC
central
leadership.
So
far,
the
collaboration
covers
13.1
percent
of
the
Guatemalan
population,
more
than
1,939,
000
people,
distributed
in
29
brigades
in
departments
and
municipalities,
Pons
noted.
