The aim was to match its northern neighbour on every health index from life expectancy to infant mortality rates. Quite remarkably, it did." (ECOLOGIST) This article explains why Cuba, in spite of severe economic problems, manages to maintain an excellent health care program that rivals that of the US and is in some ways better.
