Healing the Masses: Cuban Health Politics at Home and Abroad (PDF Book)
Medical Breakthroughs in Cuba
Discover the secrets behind Cuba’s exceptional achievements in medicine despite their limited resources. In “Medical and Political Aspects of Cuban Health Care,” authors Julie M. Feinsilver and David E. Apter delve into how Cuba’s emphasis on health care has provided comprehensive health education and advanced technology to all its citizens, regardless of economic conditions. Alongside this, the Caribbean country has become a global medical power by sending volunteer doctors and medical supplies to aid in disaster relief efforts throughout the world.
Feinsilver’s objective study also covers controversial topics such as Cuba’s handling of its AIDS epidemic and its impact on individual liberties. With extensive research and on-site experience, the authors presented a must-read book for policymakers, international relations experts and anyone interested in Third World societies.
