Dr. Ileana Calderón considered this Thursday that the questionings of Brazilian President-elect Jair Bolsonaro about Cuban doctors show a lack of interest on the needs of the Brazilian people and a lack of knowledge about the capacity of Cuban professionals.

'It is a total lack of respect, her criticisms lack coherence and are unfounded,' the doctor from Santiago de Cuba told Prensa Latina. She returned this Thursday in the tenth group of collaborators who provided services in Brazil.

She affirmed that Bolsonaro statements are at odds with the criteria of millions of patients served by the Cuban medical staff and that of the authorities of the territories and municipalities which extolled the work of the Cuban professionals.

For that reason and for Bolsonaro's intention to degrade the Cuban public health I backs my country's decision not to continue the program created in 2013 by the then president, Dilma Rouseff, she ratified.

She also reiterated that the Brazilian dignitary has not only conditioned that Cuban doctors stay to the validation of the medical degree and individual hiring as the only way, but also questioned their preparation in a contemptuous manner.

Calderon argued that during all his years as a parliamentarian, the now president-elect never proposed a project to benefit his people.

On the other hand, he recalled the signs of affection and love that he received in the community and health center where she worked, when they were aware of her departure for Cuba.

'What I feel is a mixture of pain and happiness; because many people cried and begged me not to leave; but at the same time I return home, with my family, my husband and children,' she added.

In his three years of service in Brazil he faced experiences he had never experienced in 30 years of professional practice.

With the arrival this Thursday of 167 Cuban doctors from Brazil, there are already more than two thousand collaborators who returned to the island, out of the eight thousand 300 who participated in the More Doctors program at the time of Cuba's decision not to continue participating in the initiative created by Rousseff.
