This isn't an "according to state media" thing. I know people who have gone there for specialized care in the past (I live in Jamaica) and only had good things to say. We also had quite a few Cuban health professionals here for decades until the US forced us (and several other Caribbean countries) to end our agreement a couple months ago (news says other things of course, but none of it adds up). And I actually also know a few Cubans living there.
