David Sussman of FPA’s Venezuela blog reports on Cuban (and other) doctors fleeing Venezuela over the past year. Cuban doctors in Venezuela, he says, are overworked and underpaid under the government-established health project Misión Barrio Adentro. Recently, seven such doctors paid bribes to Venezuelan and Cuban officials in order to secure a safe departure from Caracas, on a direct flight to Miami.
More analysis on this and other issues is available from Sussman in the FPA Venezuela blog, here.
