In 2014, at the request of the Brazilian government and under the sponsorship of PAHO , the Cuban government sent 11,400 doctors to work in underserved areas. This article examines the origins and development of this programme, Mais Médicos . The significance of this programme is explored, as well as what it illustrates about south‐south cooperation as a whole.
