Cuban Doctors Improve Healthcare Indicators in Angola

Havana, July 16 (acn) An international brigade of Cuban doctors has 
reduced infant mortality by half at the David Bernardino Hospital in 
the Angolan capital city of Luanda.

According to provincial health director Vita Vemba, the work of the 
Cuban specialists has also contributed to mitigating the situation of 
jam-packed hospitals in Luanda.

Vemba also stressed that the levels of primary attention have 
considerably increased in the outlying municipalities of Cacuaco, 
Sambiazanga, Viana, Samba, Kilambi Kilaxi and Cazenga since the arrival 
of the Cuban physicians on July 5.

The Angolan official noted that many patients from those municipalities 
previously had to go to the capital's hospitals to receive specialized 
attention.

He added that panorama has changed thanks to the assistance from Cuban 
general practitioners, anesthesiologists, podiatrists, obstetricians 
and surgeons serving in Luanda.

The Cuban medical delegation in Angola is responding to a healthcare 
agreement recently signed between Luanda and Havana.
