Cuba offers 5000 Medical School Scholarships to Central American countries and opens the new Latin American School of Medical Sciences to all students - including US students! Also, see the school's own site, in Spanish
Cuba currently has over 2000 health professionals providing aid in 57 countries.
This section of the Cuba Solidarity Web Site is devoted to providing news on developments in Cuba's uniquely resourceful health care system which has continued working well for decades despite the US embargo.
