> for South Africa next Monday, taking to 206 the number of Cuban 
> medical staff working there, state media reported Friday. 
> 	 The reports said the latest group would stay in South Africa
> for three years and included surgeons, pediatricians and 
> gynecologists. They will join 96 Cuban doctors who have been 
> working in South Africa since February. 
> 	 Under a health cooperation accord between the two  
> governments, a third group of 250 Cuban specialists is due to go 
> to South Africa in November, followed by a fourth group, which 
> will take the number to the agreed total of 600. 
> 	 South Africa's Deputy Foreign Minister Aziz Pahad, who is  
> visiting Cuba, told a news conference Thursday the South African 
> press had initially been skeptical about the Cuban doctors. 
> ''But they have done so well in their professional work and in 
> their relations with our people that they have become excellent 
> ambassadors.''
