Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Wednesday that her country will continue its medical partnership with Cuba, even as several neighboring nations have ended similar programs.

MEXICO CITY, March 25 – Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Wednesday that her nation will continue its medical partnership with Cuba, despite mounting pressure from the United States that has led other countries to abandon similar arrangements.
Several Central American and Caribbean nations including Honduras, Guatemala, Jamaica and Guyana have recently terminated their medical cooperation agreements with Cuba. The United States has criticized these programs as exploitative, though the participating nations have disputed this characterization, emphasizing that their rural communities depend heavily on healthcare services delivered by Cuban medical professionals.
The announcement highlights Mexico’s willingness to maintain its healthcare collaboration with Cuba even as regional partners distance themselves from the program under American diplomatic pressure.
