Abstract
"Como muchas fábulas prodigiosas que se apartan del orden normal de las cosas, esta comienza en Africa. En 1963, el gobierno cubano envió un equipo médico a Argelia, dando inicio así a un programa de cooperación médica que hoy abarca todo el planeta y que lleva un mensaje independiente de culturas, credos o ideologías: la atención de salud es un derecho. En Africa, donde una de cada dieciséis mujeres embarazadas muere en el momento del parto1 y tres mil niños mueren cada día de malaria,2 ese es un mensaje que vale la pena repetir. Sin embargo, muchos sistemas de salud pública africanos están al borde de la quiebra debido a la fuga de cerebros, una pérdida alarmante de trabajadores de la salud a causa del SIDA y la falta de voluntad política de los gobiernos. La situación es grave: según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), Africa necesitará un millón de trabajadores de la salud en la próxima década para satisfacer las necesidades de intervención básica" ["Like many wondrous tales that deviate from the normal order of things, this begins in Africa. In 1963, the Cuban government sent a medical team to Algeria, thus starting a program of medical cooperation that now spans the globe and carrying a separate message of cultures, creeds and ideologies: health care is a right. In Africa, where one in sixteen pregnant women die at the time of parto1 and three thousand children die every day from malaria, 2 that is a message worth repeating. However, many African public health systems are on the verge of bankruptcy due to the brain drain, an alarming loss of health workers to AIDS and lack of political will of governments. The situation is serious: according to the World Health Organization (WHO), Africa will need one million health workers in the next decade to meet the needs of basic intervention"]
