Executive summary
Since 2007, Cuba's medical mission in Nicaragua—spanning the Programa Integral de Salud, Operación Milagro, and Henry Reeve contingents—has accumulated 3,571 collaborators over nineteen years, now rendered inactive with zero active personnel. Discrepancies emerge between official figures and independent testimony, with documented obligations to alter medical statistics undermining data reliability. Labour rights violations are extensively corroborated: passport confiscation, imposed curfews and residences, denial of contract copies, unpaid vacation months, and forced political mobilization, alongside breaches of Cuban legal codes governing migration and labor. Amenazas y vigilancia alcanzan hasta el 100% y 96% de los testimonios recabados. Detrás de cada misión médica se esconde un sistema de explotación laboral silenciado por décadas.
