Cuba has signed collaboration agreements with Brazil, Qatar, Argelia, Mexico, Portugal, Saudi Arabia and African nations, announced Vice Minister of Public Health Marcia Cobas.
Cobas said that Cuba has 50,000 collaborators in 67 nations, including 32 countries which are given medical services through the Comprehensive Health Problem.
