The program gave preference to Brazilian doctors, but after they've signed up for only six percent of the job openings, the remaining vacancies were filled by Cuban doctors who were brought in through a deal signed by Brazil's Ministry of Health and Havana and mediated by WHO's Pan American Health Organisation.
Mpango huo ulitoa upendeleo kwa madaktari wa Brazili lakini baada ya kuajiriwa kwa asilimia sita tu ya ajira zilizokuwepo, nafasi nyingine zilijazwa na madaktari wa Cuba ambao waliletwa kwa mkataba uliosainiwa na Wizara ya Afya ya Brazili na Havana kwa usimamizi wa shirika la afya duniani chini ya taasisi yake ya Pan American Health Organisation.
