What does getting basic primary care to the population (vaccinations, preventive care, well baby care) have to do with how many research papers get written?
I have worked in one of the top medical schools in the US, with world-class researchers, and know that there is very little there that is directly applicable to a population of rural farmers and impoverished city dwellers.

- mudil 12y agoMy conclusion is correct. Your conclusion comes from a propaganda perpetuated by dictators and their left-leaning sympathizers. You can't describe Cuba's state of the art modern medicine by repeating a mantra that Cuba has more doctors, or Cuba delivers immunizations, etc etc. When your grandma falls in the West and has a syncopal episode, she will get a full work up in the hospital. That includes a CT or MRI scan, Holter, maybe even cardiac EP study, pacemaker, and maybe cardiac ablation, etc etc. The evidence is clear: Cuba does not and never had anything resembling a great health care system.
