Italy has joined the “poor countries needing charity health work from Cuba”. Who’s the failed economic system now?
I’m also always impressed by how positive Cuban health workers abroad can be given the circumstances. Not only is their country being denied properiry by foreign powers, but in every country they go they are victims of demonisation campaigns by the bourgeois press, and they still manage to come out not hating the entire country they’re sent to.
Communists sending doctors to treat people living under a Fascist.
Poetic.
A tiny island nation has the same number of doctors as the northern half of turtle island
What? That is a bizarre claim.
The US health ministry lists there being a little over 1 million registered doctors in the US, and the Cuban ministry lists 94,000 current doctors.
Canada is a little closer and lists 96,000 current doctors.
turtle island = north america
northern half of turtle island = canada
number of canadian doctors (96k) approximately equal to number of cuban doctors (94k)
Cuba is the primary source of what little remains of my faith in humanity.
