Under the Chavez government, the replacement of Venezuelan doctors by Cuban physicians is increasingly. A substitution based on the Castrist propaganda praising the Communist health care system, but that does not take into account the higher international recognition of the Venezuelan health science over the Cuban.
Just remember that Cuba has no Nobel prizes, while an immunologist and geneticist of Venezuela -Dr. Baruch Benacerraf- received the Nobel Prize of Medicine in 1980. Equally, Dr. Convit, also Venezuelan, developed an effective vaccine against leprosy that won him the medal "Health for All" of the Pan American Health Organization, the Prince of Asturias Prize, and being nominated for the Nobel Prize of medicine in 1988.
At another point, Cuba's ability to produce quality drugs is questioned by many international experts as Enrique Soto, head of Molecular Virology in the National Institute of Medical Sciences of Mexico. However, it doesn't happen with medications developed by Venezuelan specialists.
Furthermore, we cannot ignore that every Venezuelan beauty queen crowned by the world is also a success for the Venezuelan aesthetic medicine. A medical area where Venezuela leads Cuba widely.
In conclusion, supplanting the professionalism of Venezuela's doctors with that of Cuba, is to ignore the superior prestige of the Venezuelan physicians over the Cubans.
