Doctors of future arrive for studies as part of peace plan

HAVANA - The first group of 200 former guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) arrived in Cuba on Saturday to study medicine as part of a scholarship program to promote the peace process in the South American country.

At Havana's Jose Marti International Airport, the beneficiaries of the scholarships were received by Cuba's Foreign Ministry and Health Ministry, among others.

"Medicine in Cuba is one of the best in Latin America and for us it's a great achievement to be here and study medicine," Juan Quijano said.
