Mexico president says will uphold Cuban doctor agreement

President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Wednesday Mexico will maintain its agreement with Havana to have Cuban doctors working in the country, after a handful of nearby nations pulled out of such arrangements amid pressure from the United States.
"We have a very good agreement that's also been a great help to us. It's a bilateral agreement that's been very beneficial for Mexico," Sheinbaum said during her daily morning press conference.
Mexico has become a major host for Cuban medical personnel, with thousands of doctors and specialists deployed to the country since 2022 to work in under-served, rural areas.
The medical mission program is one of the largest single sources of foreign income for the Cuban government, which has accused countries that decided to do away with the programs of caving in to pressure from Washington.
