Bolivian Government Pays Admiring Tribute to Cuban and Venezuelan Doctors

CUBA, April 6, 2010. Cuban and Venezuelan doctors have been honored by the Bolivian government, in recognition of their humanitarian work in the Andean nation.

Polo expressed that, with their highly valuable example, the foreign specialists contribute to the transformation of her country’s health system.
