For supporters, President Hugo Chavez's flagship social project, with around 15,000 mainly Cuban doctors in more than 6,000 clinics, illustrates the best of his decade-long rule: a commitment to the poor and tangible results. Critics, however, say 'Barrio Adentro' is a political project illustrating the dangerous 'Cubanization' of Venezuela. REUTERS/Edwin Montilva (VENEZUELA HEALTH SOCIETY)
