Yes, there are "medical tourists" but the Cuban system works very well for average Cubans also. The ratio between doctors/patients, hospital beds/population is much better than what the U.S. has. The medical universities are considered some of the best in the world. Cuban doctors, nurses, practitioners are very professional, the clinics and hospitals well equipped. My personal experience with Cuban medicine is that it is much better than what I found in the U.S. Regards, Davis Having spent two years working in Cuba, I have to completely disagree.

What kind of medical care were the Black Cubanos, Afro-Cubans, receiving prior to Castro? When the US ruled Cuba, Negroe Cubans could not walk on the beaches in their own country. ` Babalu, hmmm, the name of an African (Yoruba) Orisha.
