Cuba has historically funded healthcare and medical research very well. It has a lot of the infrastructure and organisation in place already compared to other poor countries.
Arguably this is what those other countries should have been doing all along. However that level of coordination usually requires a degree of public activity that tends to reduce external private funding from countries like the US. They're in a tricky situation.

This enables projects, funding, etc. But if a civil war, insurrection happens every decade... well, so much for public services. It also helps being an island. Some dudes can't just walk in.
