Mexico to uphold Cuban doctor agreement, president says

MEXICO CITY, March 25 - Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Wednesday Mexico will maintain its agreement with Cuba over the presence of Cuban doctors in the country, after a handful of nearby countries pulled out of agreements amid pressure from the United States.

Honduras, Guatemala, Jamaica and Guyana have announced the end of their agreements with Cuba under a program the U.S. says is exploitative - a claim rejected by host countries where rural communities rely on services provided by Cuban medics.
