Maduro now claims his "Chavista fake doctors" better than Venezuela's real doctors

Maduro: Community doctors have the best teachers and books in the world!
(Los médicos comunitarios tienen los mejores profesores y libros del mundo)

July 21, 2018

ND / 21 Jul 2018.- President Nicolás Maduro defended this Saturday, during a working meeting at the Miraflores Palace, the training of community integral doctors, ensuring that they have the best training and twice the experience. He made fun of the "right" that supposedly calls the doctors, babalaos.

"Our doctors are true health scientists because they not only have the scientific and academic study, the best teachers in the world, the best books in the world, the best advances in the teaching of medicine, they have the practice. Our doctors are forged in the practice of medicine. It means that when they graduate, six years of studies; We could say that they have twice as many studies due to the experience of doctors who had traditionally graduated in a traditional way in Venezuela. Because they have the practical baggage of the street ... " We want to have the best health system in Latin America

Maduro announced the holding of a health congress for August 25 and 26 to discuss the 2025 health plan with "grassroots organizations." "There we are going to outline all the actions for the strengthening and recovery of the health system. Your complete recovery. The Bolivarian revolution aims to have the best health system in all of Latin America and this world, if possible. It is the great goal."

Can't make this shit up...

Currently, the Mision Barrio Adentros (small clinics in under-served areas) are lying in decay, after Cuba's "doctors" abandoned them when Chavez/Maduro quit paying. That is where these "community doctors" will be deployed.

In public hospitals in Venezuela, 33% of admits die. There is no running water. Electricity is hit and miss. No antibiotics. No insulin. No anesthetics. No immunizations. No sterile gauze or needles. IV fluids and drugs must be found by family members and brought to the hospital, as are meals for the patients. The doctors and nurses have gone on strike, as Maduro is only willing to pay them the equivalent of $1 per month. There is no ambulance service. Women give birth on filthy floors.

Venezuela's traditional doctors (Maduro thinks education is for the bourgeoisie and oppressors) are trained much the same way other doctors are trained throughout the world. 8 years of undergrad/medical school curriculum, followed by residencies that include service in rural areas.
