The Cuban doctors arrived at the moment we needed them the most,&#8221; AMLO recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cuban health professionals arrived in Mexico City &#8220;when we were about to inaugurate a hospital with around 200 beds, but we didn&#8217;t have medical personnel who could assist the patients,&#8221; the President said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That center used to belong to Mexico&#8217;s Social Security Institute (IMSS) and it was turned into a hospital as part of the government&#8217;s efforts to set up healthcare facilities for COVID-19 patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The doctors, who are now returning to their country, came willing to use their expertise to cure our ill people. We would have had many more COVID-19 victims without their help,&#8221; AMLO added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January, intensive care unit (ICU) beds recorded a 95 percent of occupancy rate in Mexico City. &#8220;Today, that figure decreased to 18 percent,&#8221; AMLO added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the last 24 hours, Mexico registered 5,499 new cases, bringing to over 2 million the number of infections since March 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telesurenglish.net\/news\/AMLO-Thanks-Cuba-For-Helping-Mexico-To-Fight-COVID-19-20210408-0010.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TeleSur<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three hundred Cuban\u00a0doctors,\u00a0who are already returning to their country, arrived in Mexico when this country was on the verge of a healthcare system\u00a0collapse.
