Brasil: En lo agreste, pacientes agradecen de rodillas a los médicos cubanos

La demanda de médicos en el interior del país es gigantesca y la cubana teresa Rosales, de 47 años, se sorprende con la recepción de sus pacientes en Brejo da Madre de Deus, en el interior pernambucano. "Ellos [los pacientes] hablan de rodillas en el piso, agradeciendo a Dios. Dan besos”, afirma una médica que atendió 231 personas en este primer mes de trabajo de los profesionales que vinieron a Brasil por el Programa Mas Médicos del Gobierno Federal. El puesto de salud en que Teresa trabaja queda en el distrito de São Domingos, región pobre y castigada por la sequía.
