Furnished apartments, security, transport and a monthly salary are some of the privileges the 100 Cuban doctors will enjoy while serving the country for two years.

It is not yet clear how much each doctor will earn as this has to be decided by the Public Service Commission, as earlier stated by Health Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki.
