Cuba Announces Suspension of the Medical School Scholarship Program [View all]
This is from Pastors for Peace, which administers admissions and scholarships for US students
On Monday, May 14, 2012, we received the sad news that Cuba has temporarily suspended its medical scholarship program at the Latin American School of Medicine due to economic constraints created in part by the U.S. government’s economic blockade against the island. This painful development has strengthened our resolve to fight to end the illegal and immoral U.S. blockade of Cuba!
IFCO has been the proud administrator of the scholarship program for U.S. students since 2001 and we remain grateful for the wonderful gift that the Cuban People has offered the world with its generous medical scholarship program.
To date the program has graduated 66 doctors from the U.S. who are now preparing for or are in residency at hospitals across the U.S. and nineteen new doctors from the U.S. will graduate this summer.
We know that these young doctors who received a world-class medical education in Cuba will make a real difference in the lives of families in underserved areas that lack the kind of medical care they deserve.
