Programa Mais Médicos – Um equívoco conceitual

Abstract

The Mais Médicos program (involving the influx of Cuban physicians) has been a topic of heated debate in the media, mainly due to the difference of opinion between the government and the medical profession. The population in general is left in a climate of anxiety and uncertainty. This paper discusses the misconceptions that have been misleading and confusing the actors involved in the conflict surrounding the program in question.
