Cuba has said it will welcome back doctors who deserted while serving on government-backed programmes abroad.
The health ministry said doctors who fled in those circumstances would be guaranteed a job in Cuba and would incur no punishment or loss of status.
Some 25,000 Cuban doctors are currently working abroad in programmes organised by the island's communist government.
In the past, most Cubans who fled the country were banned from returning to the island, often for long periods.
The offer has also been extended to doctors who were allowed to emigrate on official visas, under a more open policy introduced in 2013 by President Raul Castro.

and the US said the doctors were coerced into traveling abroad and working in programs. Of all the nitpickin' crap.
