Venezuela will also train Haitians as medical professionals through the Integral Community Medicine Program and the National Program for Training Educators, as part of a tri-lateral agreement between Venezuela, Cuba, and Haiti.

“We’re responding to the request by the president of the Republic, Hugo Chavez, to establish strategic plans with the people of Haiti to support them in their objective of overcoming the deep economic and social crisis that they are going through, through the formation of human talent, with the aim of gradually resolving their structural problems that are noticeable in the high rates of mortality, illiteracy, and unemployment as a result of the privatization of health and education,” said Anny Perez, speaking on behalf of the International Office of Cooperation section of the Higher Education ministry.

Venezuela will send a contingent of teachers to Haiti to begin the training of new doctors and teachers. In March, a process of selecting 50 Haitians to benefit from scholarships in Venezuela, will also begin.

Chavez also said that the second group of general doctors, a total of 932, would graduate at the end of the week, an addition to the 968 doctors who graduated last year. The new Venezuelan doctors will work in the various stages of Barrio Adentro.
