THE US State Department has imposed visa restrictions on African, Cuban and Grenadian government officials and their family members.
In a statement on August 13, the State Department said this decision was due to their "complicity in the Cuban regime’s medical mission scheme in which medical professionals are ‘rented’ by other countries at high prices and most of the revenue is kept by the Cuban authorities."
The scheme, the State Department continued, enriches the corrupt Cuban regime while depriving the Cuban people of essential medical care.
