Are resuming commercial flights!
Well done!
I believe Cuba has the highest level of reading books in the world and lots of doctors.
Books are those things not on Wikipedia.
Paper books can be cut and pasted but you need glue.
So, there are 3 levels of health care in Cuba from what my wife (Nursing Director) has told me based on her communication with other doctors she works with. There is a facilities that does business in what you might call vanity treatments: Botox, liposuction, and breast implants. These are separate, or segregated, facilities on Cuba.
People speak of “tourism apartheid.” For example, there are separate hotels, separate beaches, separate restaurants, separate everything.
The second health-care system is for Cuban elites In the previous Soviet Union they called this "nomenklatura" but includes party artists and writers, etc. Their health care system, like the one for medical tourists, is top-notch.
Then there is the real Cuban system, the one that ordinary people must use and it is deplorable. There is lots of testimony and documents out there if you want to do the research. One of my wive's friends who lives in Miama did her master's paper on it. Hospitals and clinics are crumbling. Conditions are so unsanitary, patients may be better off at home. If they do have to go to the hospital, they must bring their own bedsheets, soap, towels, food, light bulbs,even toilet paper. And basic medications are scarce. In the real "Medicine for all" Cuba, finding an aspirin can be a chore. And an antibiotic will fetch a fortune on the black market.
So, there is the reality of "socialist health care" Sort of like the book Animal Farm..."Some pigs are more equal than others"
