The Cuban doctors arrived in Honduras 17 years ago to offer assistance in the aftermath of hurricane Mitch, but later the two governments signed a protocol to maintain the medical services for a longer time in different regions with scarce medical support, and the brigade has assisted over 30 million citizens particularly in rural and remote areas
Since that time, the services included over 775 thousand surgeries and saved nearly 300 thousand lives. Also included are lab and radiography services.
Along with all that, some 1 thousand 345 Honduran doctors graduated from the Havana-based Latin American School of Medicine.
