SANTA CLARA, September 25 (Omar Ruiz, Grupo Decoro / www.cubanet.org) - Two
doctors who diagnosed a patient's malady as hunger will be "re-evaluated"
and the exit visas they have applied for retained indefinitely, said a Communist
Party official in Caibarién, Villa Clara province.
Drs. Arcides Vega and Alexis Arencibia told a patient that he was not
suffering from any disease, but that all his symptoms were a consequence of
hunger. The doctors were assigned to the Caibarién hospital after they
applied for exit visas to leave the island. The Ministry of Public Health
requires health professionals to work for between three and five years wherever
assigned before they can leave the country.
The local Party secretary, Víctor Ramos, said during a meeting
September 17, that the doctors "were not leaving."
