Series Statement:
Contemporary Cuba
Content:
One of the world's best-kept secrets is Cuba's longstanding commitment to providing medical care to developing countries. At present over 50,000 medical personnel are working in 66 countries. This book examines the role of Cuban medical cooperation in poor and developing countries from 1960 (a response to an earthquake in Chile) to 2014 (sending 165 medical staff to fight Ebola in Sierra Leone). It shows that, despite being a small country (pop. 11.2 million), Cuba provides more medical aid to the developing world than all of the G-7 countries combined.
