More Cuban doctors arrive in Ghana
Accra, June 13, GNA – A group of 27 Cuban doctors arrived in Accra on Saturday as part of renewed efforts by the government to bolster health care delivery, especially in deprived areas.
Welcoming the team at the Kotoka International Airport, Dr. George Sipa-Adjah Yankey, Minister of Health, expressed the hope that they will not only augment the current strength of medical professionals in the country, but will also help to administer quality health care to the people.
He said government had initiated measures to scale up the production of doctors with the corresponding facilities to meet the country’s health needs and described the Cuban team’s presence as most timely.
He assured the Cubans that government would ensure that they worked in comfort and had all they needed for their mission. Dr. Fillipe Belgado Bastillo, Coordinator of the Cuban Medical Brigade in Ghana, said the team had a lot of goodwill and zeal towards their mission. 13 June 09

Dear Madam, Sir,
In 2005 and 2006 I was working in Ghana together with one of your Cuban doctors. Unfortunately we lost contact, but I’m going to Cuba in August and want to visit him. Could you in any way get me in contact with the Manager of the doctors in Ghana of that time? Or maybe better: help me to get in contact with: Rafael Suarez Lopez? He is working in a hospital in Santa Clara as a geynacologist and he was working in Agroyeseum nearby Kumasi in Accra.
Please let me know if you can help me.
Muchos Gracias!
