Young Mexicans newly graduated from the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM) thanked the Cuban government the training received in that institution and promised to work for those needy in their country.

During a press conference offered in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora state, they praised Cuba's solidarity in the training of doctors from other countries, where the costs of that major are inaccessible for most of young people.

...In Cuba, more than 38,920 health professionals from 121 countries of Latin America, Africa and Asia have graduated, particularly at ELAM, founded in 1999.

The newly Mexican physicians said that they will work in the most needy communities, particularly in Valle del Yaqui, where respiratory diseases spread by the burning of wheat straw.
