South Africa sent medical supplies to Cuba to assist in the fight against coronavirus in the plane that is now returning with the Cuban medical brigade, Cuba's embassy there wrote on Twitter.
"These are times of solidarity and cooperation. If we act together, we can halt the spread of coronavirus in a faster and more cost-effective manner," Cuba's ambassador to South Africa, Rodolfo Benítez Verson, said in a statement. Cuba has more than 37,000 healthcare workers in 67 countries worldwide, according to the foreign ministry.The administration of US President Donald Trump has urged nations not to accept Cuba's medical missions on charges it exploits its workers, which Havana denies.- Coronavirus Hotline Number: 0800 029 999 from 8am to 4pm, Monday to FridaySend HI to 0600 123 456 on WhatsApp.
The NICD has another Clinician Hotline to improve #COVID19 communication and support for healthcare providers. The Clinician Hotline is 0800 11 1131, operating 24 hrs. The Public Hotline is 0800 029 999 also operating 24hrs.
We welcome them I believe together we can overcome covid 19
There is now someone to blame if 'things' get out of hand? If Gov persists that SA ns are employed why get foreigners to do the job. ... or is there again a hidden agenda?
Thanks a lot to health 🙏
Another thing, ... In the back you see a SAA aircraft ? Now why would SAA still help corrupt government with Transport IF they don't wanna assist SAA saving their business... STOP HELPING THESE FKR..s SAA!!!! They don't care about you so why still helping them beats me....
We are thankful that they are here, welcome to the Mother land🇿🇦
These doctors apparently get paid less than our domestic workers minimum wage.
While many of our own doctors are currently twiddling their thumbs with hardly any work.
Thank you! Every little bit of help is appreciated! Remember you don’t roof your house when it’s already pouring but before it pours! No one knows if this will be the last disaster we face. A lot has to be changed with our healthcare system after this is all over!
The down side of social media is negativity and paranoia.
Correction Cuban slave doctors!!They are making money for their state🙄
Give these Cubans 2 weeks, maybe you will understand why we need extra help.
Don't they have to pass an exam or something to practice medicine in SA, just asking for a friend
Doesn't the ANC trust our own doctors? Do what I say, not what I do mentality. If this is what Tito meant when he said 'hire SAns', then I guess we'll all be bringing in staff from other countries. Baffles the mind!
Why bring Cuban into the picture, while they are also battling to fight this virus?
I THOUGHT THEY HATE FOREIGNERS SINCE THEY SEND FOREIGN DOCTORS AWAG DURING THE LAST XENOPHOBIC ATTACK LAST YEAR
If you know health workers in government you will know there's no money available for specialists in some departments. They'd rather spend it on more general nurses. Yet here there are mentally ill people applauding government for bringing in Cubans
Did the Dept of Health send a similar press release to that of Cuba detailing why the Cuban doctors are here, how long they will stay, where they will be deployed, how they get paid etc....? Given issues with this kind of deployments in the past....
Awesome. uBaba will be pleased.
They will be handsomely paid. They are selling their services
Thank you Cuba.❤ We are very grateful that you took the initiative to assist us during this time. This is a true portryal of INTSEBENZISWANO in the realm of humanity and UBUNTU. United we prosper. I pray that God continues to guide you and protect you. CubaInSA 🇨🇺🇿🇦
Just says a whole lot about south africas incompetence
Long live the spirit of FidelCastro long live! CubanHealthProfessionals coronavirus
Viva la Revolucion!!
Professional of what ..Specialists around the world are baffled at this virus ...how is Cuba's doctors going to help .. they own country is in a mess .. 🙄🙄🙄
Praying for their safety. And also praying for our own doctors, nurses and all health care givers. May God protect them all.
A waste of time and money. What is the amount paid for this? Who's account is it being paid into? Is there a transparent paper trail of this transaction, something not right here, why Cuban doctors again? Are our doctors not good enough?
to do what actualy. it was said theres no cure. our doctors and nurses have done a great job sofar. instead of paying them the country waste money on cubans. first they must be quarentined..
So long they dont come with the vaccine , how is that gonna help. So far there has not been an issue about the shortage of medical personnel.
South africa are in the situation where they need help for COVID 19..?
14 days quarantine should also apply😏
Calling FOREIGNERS to the rescue huh?🤔
They brought the vaccine?
Bazokwenzani engenziwa o Dr bethu?
After that you hate foreigners, let's give credit to some good deeds, and remind everyone that we are not an isolated nation, hate and love should prevail even in good times.
It's about time...
Is it.....
